Opportunities at Wilderness Inquiry
Our staff are dedicated professionals who come from all backgrounds, skill sets, and interests, but share a common goal of making sure everyone belongs in the outdoors. Through our values our staff promote inclusion in a variety of settings around the world.
As we continue to grow and learn more about what it means to make the outdoors truly inclusive, we acknowledge that representation matters. We are dedicating ourselves to continued cultural and operational improvements to make our workplace welcoming to applicants of all backgrounds, identities, and abilities. We also know that diversity of identities, experiences and ways of thinking result in better solutions for our communities. For this reason, we especially encourage applicants from communities who experience systemic barriers – including people of color, women, LGBTQ+ and people with disabilities – to apply for our positions.
Whether you're an expert or beginner in outdoor recreation and education (or not particularly outdoorsy at all!), there is a place for you at Wilderness Inquiry.

Which seasonal or part-time position is right for you? Learn more below!
You don’t have to be “outdoorsy” or a wilderness expert to find your place at Wilderness Inquiry!
New to outdoor recreation? A deep knowledge of or experience with the outdoors is not necessary for many of our positions, including some Outdoor Leader roles, where you are paired with an experienced leader!
Have a full-time job elsewhere but love adventure? We are flexible – many of our Outdoor Leaders have found balance by only leading one or two trips a year- we'll work with you and your schedule to make it possible!
Seeking seasonal or part-time work? Many of our positions accommodate a seasonal or part-time commitment, making them perfect for students or retirees looking for a part-time passion project.
