Bolder Options

Mentoring programs in the Twin Cities and Rochester MN

Bolder Options was established in 1993 as a response to a community needs assessment that determined there was an urgent need for mentoring programs in the Twin Cities. The St. Paul location was officially launched in January of 2007. A few years later, we expanded our program to the city of Rochester which was officially launched in July of 2010. In 2018, Bolder Options expanded the alumni program, leaning on new partnerships with alumni mentor-run Quetico Foundation US to support week long trips to places like the BWCA and Montana. Bolder Options has been recognized as an Expert Partner in mentoring by Mentor Minnesota and the National Mentoring Partnership since 2010.
