    Description

    Share and teach your outdoor living skills with disadvantaged youth!

    Wilderness Works serves disadvantaged youth from the Atlanta area.

    The Wilderness Works program called Field Camp allows youth opportunities to camp, hike and backpack in National Forests and National Parks. Wilderness Works takes young people to Rocky Mountain, Glacier, Yosemite, Mount Rainier, Olympic, Great Smoky Mountain, Cumberland Island and more national parks.

    Maybe you have meaningful experience in outdoor living including camping, hiking and backpacking. Wilderness Works is looking for volunteers inclined to enthusiastically teach the skills they know so that disadvantaged youth might be excited to venture out into the wild!

    Your experience with meal preparation on the trail can also be a great source of information.

    Wilderness Works also teaches about canoeing and topics around conservation, flora, fauna, ecology, geology and more. Do you have knowledge you can share about these subjects and more? Maybe you can contribute to our programming.

    Maybe you can join us on the trail!
