Branch Leadership Openings

Remember that feeling you got after completing your first Mountaineers hike, paddle, or scramble? “We did it!” Take that exhilaration to the next level, build your team leadership experience and resume, and contribute in a fun, meaningful way to the growth of our exciting programs. Consider serving in a leadership role at one of our branches!

The Mountaineers is always seeking candidates who are interested to volunteer in a branch or activity leadership position. All volunteer leadership positions are supported with plenty of mentorship and don’t require a deep background with our branch or activity committees - though your background in team or operations leadership, project management, finance, or accounting would be a great fit! Please read more about these roles and how to apply.
