Gorge Youth Mentoring, also known as GYM, is a community-based program serving Wasco, Hood River, and Klickitat Counties, that pairs local youth, or mentees, ages 6-21 in need of positive role modeling with an adult volunteer mentor. Mentors and mentees are matched based on similar interests, personalities, and needs, and get together at least twice a month to do any number of fun activities such as hiking, baking, arts and crafts, homework and much more. As mentees spend time with their mentors, their self-esteem increases, they have more positive experiences in school, and they have better relationships with others.
