New Volunteer Informational Sessions

We are always looking for new qualified volunteers to participate on our week-long canoeing trips during the summer months. All canoe trips will take place in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area wilderness with teens and youth agencies from Chicago or Minneapolis. We will accept applications from new volunteers that live in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Illinois, with a priority to place volunteers that live near the teens we are serving.

The first step to volunteering is to attend a New Volunteer Information Session to learn about Big City Mountaineers and your role as a volunteer.

Upcoming sessions include a conference call:

Tuesday March 9th, 2010

Please RSVP to Brie to receive call information.
