AMP relies on a hard working staff of volunteers to hold classes every Spring and Fall.
AMP has 2 levels of staff participation; Group Leader and Instructor
The staff wakes up early, lugs in piles of gear, and rigs climbs hours before the students arrive but we do so in a supportive friendly environment dedicated to giving the students the safest and most informative experience we can.
Due to the way we structure the program we show a strong preference for volunteers who can commit on a consistent basis.
If you're interested please email AMP Director at: ampdirector@ampsc.org, for more information.
