Our Mission

One to One Mentoring empowers youth in San Miguel County, Colorado, to achieve their social, emotional, and academic potential through professionally supported mentor relationships. 

Our Story

Founded in 1994 by dedicated staff from San Miguel County's Social Services and Juvenile Diversion departments, One to One Mentoring began under the framework of Big Brothers Big Sisters in Durango. Recognizing the profound impact of consistent, caring adult relationships, the program became an independent nonprofit in 1999. Since then, we've served thousands of youth across San Miguel County, adapting to meet diverse needs, including support for immigrant families, LGBTQ+ youth, those experiencing grief, chronic health challenges, and more. 

Our Approach

We support youth through one-on-one mentoring, peer connection, and community engagement to help them grow with confidence, resilience, and belonging.
