G’day OAC,
This year is looking to be in full swing already. We’ve plenty amazing trips posted, lots more to look forward to, and O’day is right around the corner. Before we welcome an influx of bright-eyed and bushytailed new adventurers, we’d like to extend an invitation to our current usual suspects to join the Trip Leader (TL) team.
Have you dreamt of an amazing trip of your own you’d like to take us on?
Do you have the drive to give your time to your outdoorsy friends and community?
Do you want to be mentored by current trip leaders on how to teach, guide, and continue upskilling?
Are you curious about other incentives leaders may have?
Come for our info night, eat some pizza, and learn more about what it takes to be a trip leader: how to get started, our expectations, and a bunch of pro-tips (stuff we’ve learned the hard way so you don’t have to).
In the sign-up information, please say who nominated you, even if it’s just yourself.
Topics we’ll cover:
- When are you ready to be a TL?
- How to become ‘official.’
- Conduct — What Would Keanu Do?
- What sort of trips can you run with your current training
- Training we provide and facilitate, and how we support external training
- Trip safety standards and basics of risk management
- What our liability looks like
- General trip planning and people/group management
- Outdoor stewardship and land access
- Digital resources and communications channels for TLs
- Using the website
- Being nice to our gear
On that final note, if you’re enrolling in this induction, there is a second induction purely for storage, posted by our quartermaster, James Millar. Please book for that as well.
See you soon,
salomé
