SANTA FE MOUNTAIN CENTER - JENN JEVERTSON
by Santa Fe Mountain Center
Jenn Jevertson
Nearly 11 years ago I came to the Santa Fe Mountain Center to finish my Master's
in Adventure Education. I was drawn here by the variety of services and populations
that the SFMC works with. I planned on finishing my 6 month internship, and then
continuing on westward...
...But over a decade later, here I am still. My passion for our work, and most of all, the
mission of the Mountain Center, has only continued to grow. I am filled with a sense of
pride and purpose for the work we do.
So what really keeps me here doing therapeutic adventure at the this small non-profit?
It's about the look on a client's face when they get that "ah-ha" moment; that lightbulb
that goes off when they realize potential possibilities. It's the way some clients finally
find a feeling of connection and acceptance on our programs. It's about providing
the space and support for clients to do something that gives them a sense of
accomplishment and empowerment. And it's about a client believing in his or herself
again.
It's about making a difference. And adventure. And transforming lives.
