Claude joined the Chaffee County Mentors Program in April of 2024. Right away, the program coordinators knew they had a great individual after hearing about Claude's adventures in the Arkansas Valley and wanting to give back to the community. Chaffee County Mentors Coordinators met Ayden (a Salida youth) over a game of mini golf. Ayden's can-do mentality and high energy made him an easy match for the program, and they began the process of getting Claude introduced and matched with Ayden. After the match was solidified, Claude contacted the Mentor Program to build a new partnership and supply free bike rentals to all mentor matches from his work with Subculture Cyclery. Chaffee County's Mentors program was excited to announce a new collaboration with Subculture Cyclery, adding new opportunities for all involved with the mentor program. If you would like to be a mentor or collaborate with Chaffee County Mentors to provide more great opportunities to the youth of Chaffee County, please contact Clark Quattrocchi at cquattrocchi@chaffeecounty.org
