Interested in making a difference in the outdoors?

Want to share your love for adventure?

Join our community of volunteers!

At AWL, we cherish the support we receive from our volunteers. Our mission-driven programs would not be possible without them! If you’re interested in volunteering please attend our upcoming Volunteer Orientation!

Volunteer Orientation

Attending a volunteer orientation is an excellent way to learn more about AWL and what it’s like to volunteer with us! We generally run orientation sessions prior to each Winter and Summer season. If you’re interested in volunteering and have not previously attended a volunteer orientation or onboarding, please sign up for one of the next volunteer orientations.

Volunteer FAQs

Do I need to have specific skills to volunteer?

We ask that our volunteers are comfortable in the outdoors, practice sound judgment, and have some background or personal experience in the activities we offer.

Do I need to have any certifications to volunteer?

Yes, volunteers must have active/current First Aid/CPR certifications before they are able to volunteer with us.

Are there other ways to get involved with AWL, other than volunteering for outdoor trips/programs?

Yes! Since we are a small nonprofit, our volunteers can help in many ways indoors too! There are opportunities to volunteer your time and skills to ongoing projects that include, but are not limited to: marketing, event planning, fundraising, and more!
