Maisha is a UBC student who recently moved to Vancouver from Bangladesh. Through Mountain Mentors this summer, she went on some amazing hikes and even tried climbing for the first time. What was even more meaningful for her were the deep connections she made and the support she found in the cohort.

Kate has been involved in Mountain Mentors since the early days. She shares with us why she is inspired to be a mentor and how she built community in the program beyond her mentorship pair.

Claire is a winter mentee in her mentor in her third backcountry season. Her mentor Tori helped her build confidence in working towards bigger days and managing more complex terrain. She also loved the community she found in Mountain Mentors — beyond just her mentorship pair.
