They are professional, caring and love what they do. All guides are CPR and First Aid certified. Every year ETC trains people like you to serve as outdoor guides in each of our programs. We are committed to recruiting a diverse community of guides that reflects the diversity of people for whom we provide accessible adventures and strongly encourage people of all ability levels, ethnicity, and orientation to apply. ETC's community of volunteers is composed of over 400 dedicated and enthusiastic people.
Opportunities exist to help with office work, equipment maintenance and event coordination help.
Several seasonal full time internship positions are also available in all three programs. ETC was founded in 1971 by three commercial raft guides who began offering whitewater rafting trips to disadvantaged youth and people with disabilities. Over the years we have expanded to also include sea kayaking and cross country skiing programs. We are generally supported by gifts from corporations, foundations and individuals . We also obtain funds through membership drives, fundraising trips, program fees, and special events.
