Each dollar will be doubled up to $5,000 for our program when you support this year's grant! Please support Mountain Mentors with a donation that will be matched by CVS Pharmacy! Your donations will support at least two students and the matching grant from CVS will support two more.

Mission statement: BUILDING CONFIDENT, PURPOSE-DRIVEN YOUTH THROUGH FAITH, MENTORING, AND ADVENTURE.

Mountain Mentors’ mission is to empower youth through one-on-one mentoring to make positive life choices. The organization focuses on “at risk” teens (ages 13 to 17) from low-income families in Lucas and Wood counties. We expose the teens to outdoor environments and skill sets throughout the year, with monthly programming at parks and other local venues, and with a week in the White Mountains of New Hampshire as the highlight of the program. The purpose of our outdoor experiences is to facilitate the development of life skills and character qualities including teamwork, perseverance and self-reliance.

The impact is seen in this quote from a student Devon “This is one of the best programs for mental health in Toledo. I have grown so much through this program and it’s helping me to be better. I hope to come back as a mentor someday. "

Keep Reaching for the Peaks!
