Bolder Options is a Minneapolis-based early intervention youth mentoring program that stands out from the crowd in three distinct ways:

• Focus. We focus our efforts on a specific group: at-risk youth 10-14 years old who reside in Saint Paul, Minneapolis, Golden Valley, Robbinsdale, St Louis Park, and Richfield.
  
  
• Fun. We center our mentor-youth interaction on fun, challenging athletic activities—specifically running and biking.

• Fulfillment. We keep our program small and highly directed, so mentors and financial supporters can easily see the positive impacts they make.
