Sticks & Stones Wilderness School Volunteer Program

Student Volunteer Program

The Volunteer Program is an integral part of the schools interconnected nature. It offers students the opportunity to grow with the skills from behind the scenes, taking those skills they are passionate about to the next step. It is simple how this program works. Once you have taken a class, lets say the Winter Tracking Workshop, as a student. You are now eligible to come back and act as a volunteer for the same class that you had previously taken as a student. Now that you have had a chance to integrate the skills into your life, you bring a different perspective to the group atmosphere of the program and we get to grow in a more dynamic way together.

During on of the Empowering Ancient Ways (EAW) course, one of the volunteers said “it was like taking an EAW 1.7-crumble. Even more powerful then the first experience. It helped to tie the integral nature of the skills together on a whole new level, almost a whole new course altogether.”

-Zach Owen, The Card Storks, EAW student and volunteer
