Mountain Mentors

Our vision is backcountry* spaces where everyone belongs and feels safe

What we do

Mountain Mentors facilitates one-on-one mentorship. Each season, we pair mentees and mentors and provide the programming necessary to empower pairs to define their intentions and objectives and to experience growth. In addition to one-on-one mentorships, at the heart of what we do is community. Our program offerings seek to energize, deepen, strengthen, and grow community both in our cohort and broader outdoors community.

* To Mountain Mentors, ‘backcountry’ means the outdoor recreational spaces on the lands of the kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (Kwikwetlem), Qayqayt, Kwantlen, Semiahmoo, Tsawwassen, xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Səl̓ílwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh), S’ólh Téméxw (Stó:lō), St̓át̓imc Tmicw (St’at’imc), and Líl̓wat (Lil'wat) Peoples and upon which Mountain Mentors operates. ‘The backcountry’ is not a place to be owned, conquered, or disrespected. It is a destination, an aspiration, and an individuals’ experience.
