Our Mission :

With the wilderness as our catalyst, we reveal potential, inspire hope, and heal families. We believe it. We live it.

About the Role : As an Outdoor Youth Mentor, you play a crucial role in the healing process for our students. You will work closely with at-risk teenagers, helping them navigate their challenges and discover their potential through outdoor experiences. Your presence and guidance are essential in creating a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment.

What You'll Do :

• Robust Training : Outdoor Youth Mentors complete an Orientation Week that gets you started in both hard skills (outdoor-oriented) and soft skills (relationship building and clinical understanding).
• Mentorship : Build strong, supportive relationships with students, providing mentorship and guidance.
• Outdoor Skills : Teach students essential outdoor skills, such as creating bowdrill fire sets, building shelters, and navigating the wilderness.
• Recreation : Facilitate mountain biking, slack lining, disc golf, and other outdoor recreation activities.
• Exploration : Lead students on adventures to visit petroglyphs, ghost towns, and mountain peaks, and watch the sunrise over herds of mustangs.
• Team Collaboration : Work alongside a dedicated team of guides, fostering a collaborative and supportive atmosphere.
• Safety and Supervision : Ensure the safety and well-being of students at all times.

Shift Details : You will join one of our two rotating shifts, working 8-day shifts in the backcountry with small groups of teenagers and 1-3 other guides. All guides have the opportunity to work both programs :

Outdoor Youth Mentors can expect to start in the ThreePeaks Groups and be in the ThreePeaks groups more frequently.
