Do you love hiking, inspiring kids, and live within a reasonable driving distance of Mount Major? We are looking to train some additional volunteers to assist with Mount Major Outdoor Classroom, a program that provides outreach to schools who run annual field trips to hike Mount Major. Volunteer hike helpers greet students, teachers and parent chaperones at Mount Major and hike with them to the summit, reinforcing messages they’ve learned in the classroom portion of Mount Major Outdoor Classroom about natural, cultural and geologic history, hiker safety and etiquette. We’ll show you what the kids learn in class, and how you’ll be of help on the hike days!

Skills/Qualifications: Ability to keep up with elementary and middle school kids (and their parents) hiking Mount Major, like interacting with kids. Willing to drive to Mount Major for hikes. Must be available for occasional weekdays in the spring and/or fall (when school field trips will be scheduled). Available for May 4th, 2018 training.

Location: Mount Major, Alton NH

Training required: Trainings for MMOC offered annually. Contact Carrie Deegan cdeegan@forestsociety.org for more information.

Commitment/Hours: We hope each volunteer can commit to 1 to 2 school hikes in Spring and 1-2 hikes in Fall. Hikes will be weekdays in April-June and September-October.
