I’m currently in Colorado on a vacation with my wife’s family. Few things make me happier than getting away from the city and enjoying the outdoors. Unfortunately, it seems as though more and more people prefer to stay inside. This seems nice at first because it means less traffic in all of our favorite places, it’s a really big problem on the conservation front. If there isn’t a critical mass of people who care about our natural resources, they’ll be very hard to protect. That’s why The Mountaineers exists. They’re a Seattle, WA based non-profit that has “been teaching skills, sharing adventures, creating volunteers, and conserving land” for more than a century. For The Mountaineers the focus is on the Pacific Northwest, but that’s only because it’s their backyard. They want to teach people how to “enjoy the lands and waters” there and beyond.
The Mountaineers is all about teaching “skills for life beyond the city.” That’s why their programs range from actual classes and learning opportunities to adventures and conservation programs. Most of what The Mountaineers does is driven by volunteers, which is really cool. A love for the outdoors is contagious, and the best thing that you can do with it is to pass it on to others. All it takes to get involved is a membership ($73/yr for adults, $48/yr for students), and you can even try two activities for free. If you’d like to be even more involved, take a look at The Mountaineers’ Careers page. Right now they’re looking for an Accounting Assistant and an Event Setup Assistant (part-time).
