I’ve been involved with many youth serving non-profits around the Bay area and I can honestly say that 7 Tepees has a model that provides their participants with many excellent opportunities for growth and development. The long-term comprehensive model is truly unique and allows for deeper programming than most other agencies. In particular, the outdoors program and mentoring program both provide incredible experiences for youth. I just completed a year as a mentor for 7 Tepees and was extremely satisfied with the entire process. My mentee and I met up each month and participated in fun activities organized by 7 Tepees as well as individual meet ups that ranged from hikes and homework, to kayaking and Giant’s games. If you’re looking for a place to be a mentor for a youth, look no further.
