Volunteer With Seattle Mountain Workshops
Volunteering with seattle mountain workshops
We're always looking for volunteers to support our vibrant Seattle Mountain Workshops programs! As a volunteer, you might:
- Share the basics of climbing with kids who are brand new to the sport, and support them in what can be an exciting and challenging growth experience.
- Lead first aid activities, where you’ll teach students how to bandage a wound and splint an arm.
- Support students in a navigation treasure hunt around the Seattle Program Center.
Instructors on our Mountain Workshops programs have the chance to share their skills and connect with youth in a fun, supportive atmosphere. You’ll likely end the day having learned something new yourself, whether it’s the latest TikTok dance trend or a new appreciation for your favorite activity. Volunteers will be supported with fully developed curriculum plans and staff supervision during all programs.
