WHO BELIEVED IN YOU?
WHO WE ARE
Bolder Options provides wellness-based mentoring for middle school youth, age 10 - 14 years old. Once we identify youth who need support we match them with volunteer mentors who meet with them every week for a year. Throughout their year together, participants focus on holistic personal development through weekly activities hosted by staff. We make mentoring fun and meaningful.
