💙 Giving Back, One Volunteer Hour at a Time! 💙

Our Work Crew youth had an amazing time volunteering at Six Points, helping sort and organize donated clothing for the community. 🧥👕👖

Service projects like this give our youth the opportunity to build job skills, strengthen teamwork, develop responsibility, and grow their confidence, all while making a meaningful impact right here in the Gunnison Valley.

A huge THANK YOU to Six Points for welcoming our crew and giving them the chance to serve others. We appreciate your partnership and everything you do for our community!

Be sure to show them some love by following .points.71 ❤️

🌟 Barista Highlight: Leslie & Mentor Jeni! 🌟

Today, we're shining a spotlight on Leslie and her Mentor Jeni and all the fun things they've been up to over the past few months.

When Leslie isn’t busy as a student barista at Hope Bean, this duo spends plenty of quality time together enjoying the outdoors, getting creative, and just hanging out.

Here is a look at some of their recent adventures:
🚴‍♀️ Enjoying the fresh air: Bike riding at Van Tuyl.

🎨 Getting creative: Painting at the park, doing arts and crafts, and working with clay.

🍕 Fun experiences: Putting together a pizza kit from Marios!

We love to see them making such great memories together!

A huge thank you to EpicPromise and for their incredible support of Gunnison Valley Mentors this year!

Because of their generosity, our youth had the opportunity to enjoy a memorable group ski day, receive lift passes and lessons, and continue their adventures this summer with lift and adventure park passes.

Thank you for investing in the youth of the Gunnison Valley and helping create opportunities that inspire growth, belonging, and adventure. We are truly grateful for your partnership!
