Welcome to Adopt-A-Mountain, a non-profit organization where climbers and non-climbers can "Get Informed, Get Involved" with any mountains of their choosing.
Adopt-A-Mountain will include projects regarding any aspect of supporting a given peak, from displaying photos and stories about the shear awe and beauty of the mountain, to social and humanitarian efforts providing aid to the local inhabitants who provide crucial support for those interested in climbing 'their' mountain.
You have discovered Adopt-A-Mountain in its infancy. To help this project grow, seed adaptors (see right), the skills of grant writers, teachers to develop educational integrations, and programmers are needed to donate their time to help get Adopt-A-Mountain up and running.
If you have any of the skills mentioned above, or have more ideas to incorporate, click on the 'contact us' link above and get involved!
