We encourage chapter members to consider qualifying as volunteer trip leaders!
Each committee sets its own activity-specific leadership training requirements. This is to make sure that leaders are qualified and prepared for potential issues that are unique to a specific activity. For example, bicycling trip leaders need to know how to deal with mechanical issues that may occur on the road, while climbing leaders need to understand rope handling, and paddling leaders need to know how to deal with variable river conditions. Since the details are specific to each kind of activity, we recommend that you contact the chairperson of a particular committee whose trips interest you.
