    Climbing Mentors- Girls Climb On

    Volunteer Climbing Program mentors needed for GirlVentures!

    Do you have climbing experience and want to help mentor a youth in rock climbing? We’d love to have you join us as a volunteer mentor with our Girls* Climb On Program! Volunteer commitments are once per week, for nine weeks.

    Mentor positions are open until filled, and we strongly encourage people of color, and queer people of color to apply for this role. An interview and background check are required.

    • Mentors are required to meet for 30 minutes before or after a session.

    There are no additional fees associated with mentoring. Gym use, equipment, snacks and training are all provided free of charge. If you do not have a current belay card with Touchstone or Movement climbing gyms you will need to pass a belay test in advance of mentoring.

    Oakland programs:

    Pacific Pipe, Thursdays, October 15 - December 17th (skip Nov. 26th ), 4:15-7:15 PM

    San Francisco program:

    Movement SF Sundays, October - December 13th (skip Nov. 29th), 2:30-5:30 PM.
