Research has shown that the single most important factor in a child’s success is his or her connection to a caring adult. One to One San Miguel Mentoring Program targets at-risk youth in Telluride, Mountain Village, Norwood, Naturita, and Nucla, pairing them with mentors who help guide their social, emotional, and academic development. The mission of the nonprofit is to empower youth in San Miguel County to achieve their social, emotional and academic potential through professionally supported mentor relationships.
One to One was formed in 1993 by Telluride locals John Mansfield and Allen Gerstle.
Mansfield was the Juvenile Diversion Officer and Gerstle was Director of Social Services. In dealing with children and families in crisis, the two saw the need for a mentoring organization in the greater Telluride community. One to One began as a branch of Delta-Montrose Partners and later worked under the umbrella of Big Brothers/Big Sisters of La Plata County. In 1999, the Board of Directors created an independent mentoring organization.
Starting with only 35 children, One to One has since served hundreds of youth in San Miguel County through a variety of enrichment programs tailored to address a diverse array of needs, plus offering scholarships.
Telluride’s One to One San Miguel Mentoring Program announces its 9th annual fundraiser, “Top Chef” and Taste of Telluride. The event takes place Friday, August 10, 5:30 – 9 p.m. at the Peaks Resort & Spa, Mountain Village.
Telluride “Top Chef” draws an audience of foodies, wine lovers, locals, second-homeowners and visitors, who all show up in support of the cause. The evening takes attendees on a culinary tour of the area, focusing on regional wineries, breweries, distilleries and restaurants, all of whom bring their best game and take pride in presenting their finest selections.
Watch local chefs go toe to toe – or toque to toque – in a heated showdown.
Festivities also include a silent auction featuring goods and services from generous donors and supporters.
All proceeds from the event benefit One to One San Miguel Mentoring, again, the only nonprofit addressing the needs of at-risk young people in San Miguel County. The goal is to empower, in all good ways, the youth the nonprofit serves.
