  • Annual bonuses

What You’ll Need:

  • 21+ years old
  • Minimum: HS diploma or undergraduate degree
  • First Aid, CPR/AED
  • Physically fit to hike w/ 25+ lbs
  • Clear drug, background, and physical screenings

Preferred but not required:
Experience with youth, mental health, outdoor living, teaching, or group leadership.

Live nearby? Awesome. Live farther? No problem—just know we don’t provide housing on off-days. Many of our field instructors commute from Asheville, NC and other surrounding areas.
