Gateway Mountain Center

Gateway Mountain Center was established in 2006 as a project of Social and Environmental Entrepreneurs, and has experienced steady and rapid growth, ever since. We are innovators in youth development, environmental and social/emotional education, and mental health treatment. We have served over 20,000 youth. Our breadth and depth with this number of youth from all backgrounds has informed us in developing a Method: "Four Roots for Growing a Human". In November 2018, we become an independent 501c3. Our mission is to “transform the lives of youth through nature-based learning and wellness adventures. By reconnecting to self and community, youth of all backgrounds learn, heal and thrive.” We run a spectrum of programming focusing on both prevention and treatment. Examples of our programs include multi-day field trips for school groups visiting from around Northern California, and weekly classroom and after school wellness programming in our local Tahoe-Truckee region. Most of our programs are aimed at supporting higher need students and under resourced youth in the community.
