Bold Ascents is a mentoring program for adolescents and young adults, ages 10-24, transitioning from treatment programs. This ninety-day program creates a safe, empowering space where individuals feel seen, heard, and inspired to forge their unique path forward. Mentorship involves daily communication and crisis intervention, helping adolescents and young adults navigate daily challenges and celebrate successes, while further developing skills gained during treatment.

Based in Philadelphia, Bold Ascents supports clients nationwide, with in-person visits for local clients and optional home visits outside the area. The program’s commitment goes beyond ensuring mere survival; it fosters an environment where young people can truly thrive as they return home. Parents are kept updated through weekly emails summarizing daily contacts with clients. Bold Ascents supports individuals transitioning from treatment, as well as those who haven’t been to treatment but need extra support in their home environment to establish a strong foundation for success.

Owner and mentor Ethan Gordon brings over ten years of diverse experience in the mental health field. His expertise, honed through collaborations with leading clinicians and professionals, offers youth a wealth of knowledge and tailored support, fostering empowerment, accountability, and opportunity for a bold future.
