Since the position requires driving a van over state lines, unfortunately we need people to be over 21 and have a driver's license. 

The position is Youth Mountain Adventure Instructor, and it is a part of the Youth Opportunities Program of the AMC. This person would work June-September and be based out of our office in Boston. Their primary role is to organize and plan 7 4-day youth trips to Cardigan where they will camp, backpack, and canoe. Our program serves urban and lower income communities, so we work primarily with school groups and youth programs (Boys and Girls Clubs, YMCAs, etc.) in the Boston area. Many of the participants are fairly new to hiking, canoeing, and camping. For those 7 weeks, they will be living with the groups at Cardigan from Tuesday-Friday (one night in a lodge, one night in a cabin, and one night in a tent per week). They have weekends off and when they are not in the field they have weekends and evenings off. We offer several free training opportunities for staff throughout the summer. This would be a great position for someone with some trip leading experience who wants to gain experience leading overnight trips and build their resume in the outdoor education and recreation field.  

Applications are being accepted on a rolling basis until February 16th. I am happy to answer questions for anyone who is interested in learning more.
