Stepping Stones of the Roaring Fork Valley

Stepping Stones is a community-based youth mentoring program that operates drop-in centers for youth and young adults in the Roaring Fork Valley. Our philosophy is that strong, long-term relationships with positive adult role models are the key to empowering youth and their families within our community. Our drop-in centers are open five days a week and provide a diverse, bilingual atmosphere where participants and staff feel comfortable sharing meaningful life experiences and challenges. Stepping Stones maintains a 10 to 1 youth to mentor ratio, each participant working together with staff towards individualized goals within a united family environment. To meet the varied needs of our unique participants, Stepping Stones offers essential services and programming free of charge including skill development, nightly meals, basic needs services, educational support and advocacy, community engagement, arts programming, and outdoor recreation.
