One to One, Telluride

With the increased number of under-privileged, low-income, and minority children in this community, more children are being left behind and alone to fend for themselves. Mentoring is one of the best chances for a turn around in a child's life.

One to One's programs address multiple issues for the under-privileged children in our region:

Crossing language/cultural barriers for Hispanics/Native American children
Providing an extended family member for the service industry/working class community
Networking families into community resources, like health insurance
As children become involved with a mentor, they become less likely to be involved with drugs/alcohol or dropping out of school
Additionally, One to One faces financial challenges such as,

We do not charge tuition or fees
We do not have a financial parent base
the high competition for fundraising events with 75 other non-profits in the region
Over the past 4 years, non-profits have increased by 300%, and foundation funding has decreased by 50%. Therefore, One to One is seeking Board of Trustee members, which is an agreement to contribute $5,000 a year for 5 years in order to maintain the sustainability of these programs.

Please consider becoming a financial donor with the One to One family. Without your financial support, these programs would be just another "good idea".
