About Us
Kootenay Wild Mentors is a non-profit organization that facilitates one-on-one mentorship across the West Kootenays in the effort to reduce barriers to entry into backcountry activities for marginalized genders, including women, women-identifying individuals, non-binary and gender non-conforming people. Our programming currently consists of summer and winter cohorts that include hiking, trail running, climbing, ski touring and split-boarding.
We aim to provide a space for mentees and mentors to have opportunities for learning, skill development, and to gain confidence in the backcountry.
