Join AMP Staff

 

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.

Requirements for becoming an AMP Instructor

  • Demonstrate a skillset and attitude compatible with the values of our program
  • Complete the AMP course and/or the Sierra Club M-Rock checkoff
  • Be working towards your M-Rock or E-rock rating
  • Be an active Sierra Club Member
  • Strong preference for those who have gone through AMP as a participant

Requirements for becoming an AMP Group Leader

  • Demonstrated strong instructional skills and a mastery of the course material
  • Have been on staff as a instructor for several classes with a consistent record of attendance and an intent to remain for at least 2 years
  • Pass the Sierra Club M-Rock or E-Rock checkoff
