There are Lyle teens seeking to gain fun life experiences and support from adults like you through the Gorge Youth Mentoring program. Consider contacting Erika to learn more about this meaningful volunteer opportunity today! As our Klickitat County Gorge Youth Mentoring (GYM) Match Coordinator, Erika helps pair adult volunteers with local youth mentees. She says the most inspiring part of the work she does is meeting the incredible people who, like many of us, have busy lives and yet choose to dedicate some of their time to making a difference as a GYM mentor. She enjoys the same activities mentors fill their time with such as bike rides, hikes, or going out for ice cream. And when she's not doing any of those, she's getting inspired by other mentor/mentee adventures! For more information on how to get involved in Klickitat County, email erikar@nextdoorinc.org.
