Volunteer Requirements
Volunteers must be at least 21 years of age. The application process consists of the following:
- Filling out a Mountain Mentors Application ($25 fee)
- Participating in an in-home interview
- Providing four references
- Attending a volunteer orientation
- CBI/FBI background check and driving record check
Activities
The volunteers are asked to make a one-year commitment meeting eight hours each month with their mentee. Activities can range from help with schoolwork, playing catch, going to the recreation center, or even going skiing on the mountain. Mentors come from all walks of life and share a common interest in young people.
A year round activities program is offered in order to facilitate the relationship building process. These activities include recreational activities such as camping, hiking, ski trips, rafting, life skills such as visits to museums or cooking, and community service projects to give back to the community.
