Flo joined Mountain Mentors for the first time as a hiking mentor. In this post, they share their thoughts on supporting another person with their goals while staying grounded in who they are and what they have to offer. They also share their unexpected joy in participating in (and leading!) some of the many group events that were held this summer.

Maisha is a UBC student who recently moved to Vancouver from Bangladesh. Through Mountain Mentors this summer, she went on some amazing hikes and even tried climbing for the first time. What was even more meaningful for her were the deep connections she made and the support she found in the cohort.
