Wells Mountain Initiative is inspired by the idea of climbing mountains, never easy, but always rewarding to reach one’s dreams and benefit one’s community.
Wells Mountain Initiative believe that to climb a mountain, one should not undertake the journey alone. It takes resources, knowledge, the support of others and immense dedication. That is why Wells Mountain Initiative believe in providing more than just financial support to our scholars. The programs are designed to enhance Scholars’ potential to reach their milestones along their journey to the top and bring forth their best attributes, enabling them to achieve their lifelong goals and influence transformational impact in their communities.
