Trip Leader Volunteers
About Venture Outdoors Trip Leaders
Trip Leaders are key in removing barriers to getting outdoors. Our Trip Leaders are trained and trusted to lead folks into the outdoors for hikes, bike rides, paddle trips and more.
As a Venture Outdoors Trip Leader we’ll train you in facilitation, wilderness safety, and group dynamics. We prepare you to feel confidant in handling what comes with getting groups outside. You can take these skills with you to your next adventure. Best of all, as a Trip Leader, you’re giving back to your community and connecting with others.
