About Us
Kootenay Wild Mentors is a non-profit organization that facilitates mentorship and skill development across the West Kootenays in an effort to reduce barriers of entry into backcountry activities for marginalized genders including women, women-identifying, 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.
