Adventure Leadership Intern

Adventure Leadership is an outdoor, activity-based, team building and skill development program. Adventure Leadership interns facilitate meaningful connections between people and the environment by engaging communities in purposeful, collaborative experiences. Programs are delivered using experiential tools which can include ground initiatives, low challenge course elements, high ropes course elements, and a climbing tower. As an intern, you will learn to design and execute custom experiential programs for students, educators, corporate groups, nonprofit organizations, and beyond. Interns can also learn how to create community by leading day, weekend, or week-long trips. Past trips have included dog sledding in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, backpacking Cumberland Island, and paddling the Huron River. Training will be provided, beginners are encouraged.
 

An internship with Adventure Leadership will provide networking opportunities within various fields. As a trained facilitator, you will have a platform for showcasing valuable skills to potential employers in the private, public, and voluntary sectors. Understanding models of group development by seeing them firsthand, providing excellent customer service, and managing relationships with a diverse client base are among just a few skills that Adventure Leadership works on every day.
 

Adventure Leadership interns will be invited to complete a culminating project of their own design by the end of their tenure. Projects can include creating new training resources or initiatives, conducting outreach to underserved populations, establishing a relationship with a relevant stakeholder group and tailoring program options, etc. - the ultimate goal being that the individual work aligns with each intern’s unique strengths, reflects their passions, and furthers their professional ambitions.
