Outdoor Instructor Training Programme
Creating opportunities in the outdoors is at the heart of what we do. But for young people facing barriers to work, getting started in a new direction can feel out of reach.
Our instructor training programme offers a way in. It’s a fully funded 18-week course that gives people the time, space and support to build skills, confidence and a future in the outdoors.
We work alongside each young person throughout the journey. We offer training, equipment, mentoring and ongoing support to help them gain qualifications, move into work, and grow as outdoor leaders.
Mentoring Programme
Our brand-new mentoring programme is for young people facing barriers to getting started or progressing in the outdoor industry.
We connect young people with experienced outdoor leaders who can share what they’ve learnt from life and work in the outdoors.
Through simple, regular 1:1 support, young people can increase confidence, develop skills, and start to see a place for themselves in the outdoor industry.
