Thank you to all of our supporters!

We are excited to have a dedicated space to honor our supporters.

Did you know that we operate almost entirely through the generosity of individual donors?

We are building a grassroots network of supporters who are willing to invest in what they care about most. These are people who stay connected, remain engaged, and want to see young people in Valley County lead the way in youth development.

We have chosen to avoid relying on large grants from distant organizations because we want our local community to feel genuine ownership in the culture shift taking place here in Valley County.

This path takes longer, but it runs deeper. It is meaningful. It reflects the reality that every dollar represents Idaho hands, hearts, and prayers invested in the success of our young people.

Thank you to everyone who has supported this effort to build a culture of youth mentorship. Your support is making a meaningful difference.

Thank you to Mike and Lisa Lambirth for donating snacks and drinks so Cascade teens can feel welcome and stay fed while they hangout at the Game Changer!

In January alone, we welcomed 1/3 of our high school teens and spent nearly 150 hours together! As attendance grows, so do our use of utilities, snacks and drinks. Would you consider becoming a monthly sponsor?

We can’t do what we do without the support of our community, that means YOU. If you would like to support us by donating snacks, drinks, or finances, you can contact our Mentoring Coordinator, Sophia, at 661-432-6993 or message us directly.

Thank you helping us create a culture of teen mentorship here in Cascade 💛

We are getting there! We can't wait to have our own public place to host a premier hiring and mentoring center for teens in Valley County!

This mountain isn’t finished yet...and honestly, that feels fitting.

Mountains represent the difficult up-hill climbs we have to endure to build something that matters. Creating a culture of teen mentorship isn’t easy or quick work. It’s uphill, it’s gritty, and it takes commitment.

This piece will sit at the heart of our cafe space as a reminder that the hard, grueling work is worth it, and that none of it happens alone. We’re deeply grateful for everyone walking this journey with us.

We’re hoping to open this Saturday, February 7th, pending final permit sign-offs, and we’ll keep everyone updated as those come together early in this week.

Every day. One more step towards our mission!
