Hi, I'm Read, founder of Take Root Mentorship. I’m passionate about supporting tweens and teens through meaningful connection, outdoor adventure, and mentorship.

I believe young people thrive when they have a trusted adult who listens, encourages them, and helps them recognize their own strengths. Through activities like kayaking, snorkeling, and rock climbing, I create opportunities for youth to build confidence, resilience, and life skills while having fun and trying new things.

My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where every young person feels seen, capable, and empowered to grow into who they are becoming.
