  1. Link: 2012 Summer Internships

    Want to be a part of the coolest/hardest/most challenging/most rewarding summer of your life? Know somebody (18 years old +) who does?

    This. Is. It.

    Everybody talks about work hard, play hard and likes to do funny things to portray that they do it - but we really do it. There’s no way around it in our work. We work together, we play together, and this summer our interns get to live together.

    So spread the word. Applications are due March 31st, but don’t wait that long. We’ll probably have already made decisions at that point. Get it!

  2. Sorry we’ve been a little quiet on here recently. We’ve been really busy getting our newest project, The Mountain Goat, up and running. 

    If you don’t know what it is, you can read more about it at mountaingoatclimbing.com and you’ll probably get a little hint at what’s going on from the video. 

    This video was put together by our good friend and fellow worker, Zach Suggs, from our public opening night.

  4. We have exciting news here at the GOAT offices. One of our closest friends Bill Mitchell has moved his company, Billiam Jeans, into the spare room in our offices! As many of you may know, Billiam Jeans is an organization aimed at fighting sex trafficking. How do they do this? By making awesome pairs of jeans and donating a portion of their profit. Bill’s company was based out of his parents’ basement. He felt like he needed a space of his own, and since we had the spare room here in our offices, we wanted to be able to open the space up for him to use. We’re so excited to see what’s next for Billiam Jeans and we can’t wait to see what comes out of our offices! Check out Bill’s website and blog to read more of his story and to find out how you can get involved: http://blog.billiamjeans.com/

  5. On Saturday, October 15th, we hosted our 3rd annual Cornhole Tournament at Cleveland Park. The proceeds from our event will help provide funding for our summer programs, which are coming up quickly! Thirty teams faced off against each other this year in the double-elimination tournament, hoping to win awesome prizes and of course, bragging rights. Prizes were provided by our awesome friends at Mountain Khakis, Smith, and Hydroflask. We also gave away free passes for the Mountain Goat and a cornhole set. After a few hours of intense face offs, it came down to the Carpenters, last year’s runners up, and Steve and Rebecca Yates, who came all the way from Pennsylvania for our tournament and were our third place finishers last years. (We take our cornhole seriously here at GOAT). In the end, the Carpenters won the tournament and bragging rights for a year. Thanks to everyone who came out! We had so much fun and we can’t wait to see how God uses your generosity to reach students in Greenville this summer.

  7. Link: The Mountain Goat

    The facebook page for our newest project, The Mountain Goat climbing gym is coming to life with progress shots, and soon enough some sweet deals for our opening. 

    For those of you that don’t know, this space will also be open to the public by the end of December, and we’re trying to get the word out that Greenville is finally going to have a climbing gym again. 

    Tell all your friends and direct them to the facebook page above for updates and free stuff!

  8. AU Missions Fair

    On November 2nd we headed to Anderson University for their annual Ministry and Missions Fair. Ministries from all over South Carolina, North Carolina, and various other states came to AU to provide an outlet for students to learn more about what they do and find out how they can get involved. We got to be a part of it this year! We had a lot of students come by and talk to Joey about what we do here at Goat. We gave out info about volunteering as well as internships and met a lot of interested students. We’re really excited that we got to get the word out about Goat in Anderson and we hope that we get to see a lot of new faces in the offices and on our trips with us soon!

  10. The bike shop is now finished! Hopefully you saw the video update on September 20th where Joey showed us around the bike shop and told us what was coming our way. If not, go check that out now and come back to this post. (We mean it. Go now).

    Back then it was just an empty room and now we’ve gotten all the bikes in, assembled, and up in the shop! Check out these pictures for your personal tour of our bike shop.
