Lifelong Engagment in the Outdoors
Core to our organizational model – the Pyramid of Outdoor Engagement – is the belief that repeat and reinforcing outdoor experiences build stronger people and more resilient communities through shared outdoor adventures.
Within this model, training, leadership, and career (TLC) opportunities provide connections to community and support well-being, belonging, and lifelong engagement in the outdoors.
Developing Skills and Building Resilience
From the “hard” outdoor skills of knot-tying and fire-building to cultivating strong team dynamics, TLC experiences foster outdoor career aspiration, connections to community, and a deep sense of confidence that lasts long beyond an adventure’s last hike or paddle stroke.
Opportunities range from leadership development to outdoor skills training to industry networking. As an organization, ultimately our role is to lead broader changes in making the outdoor sphere a more welcoming space for everyone.
TLC opportunities include
- Skills Development
- On-Trail Guiding
- Fellowships / Internships
- Credentialing
- Partner Networking
