Program Coordinator

If you are looking for the next step in your guiding career, this could be a great fit for you! As a Program Coordinator (PC), you work in a team setting to ensure quality programming for our participants. If you have a love for the outdoors and a passion for connecting people to nature, we’re looking to invest in you!

As a PC, your primary responsibility will be guiding outdoor trips for a variety of populations. From mid-May to early September, PCs can expect to primarily work in a Trip Leader role, overseeing daily logistics by managing participant and staff needs, while supporting single and multi-day programs. During these months, additional responsibilities include: managing and maintaining relevant outdoor equipment, pre- and post-program communication and logistics, and leading a small team of guides, interns, and volunteers during programs. PCs are expected to model best guiding practices and AWL values, mentor seasonal staff and volunteers, implement risk management strategies, and instruct and facilitate a variety of skills to guides and participants. You will also work with participants experiencing a range of disabilities and think critically to meet their needs by leveraging adaptive equipment, behavioral support, or other creative solutions.

Outside the busy summer season, PCs can expect to work on projects related to nonprofit management, including marketing, social media, development, fundraising, volunteer management, staff training, gear maintenance, and other projects as determined by organizational needs, aligned with the candidate’s skills and experience.
