AMC's Pinkham Notch Visitor Center, at the base of Mt. Washington, is looking for new Information Volunteers to welcome visitors, orient them to the facility, give trail advice, talk about hiking, assist guests borrowing hiking gear, and promote AMC's mission – connecting people with the outdoors.

Essential Qualifications: recent experience hiking trails in the Pinkham Notch area, including multiple routes on Mt. Washington, the ability to read trail maps, familiarity with hiking gear, a friendly personality, and the ability to communicate well with hikers from all backgrounds and all levels of hiking experience. The best fit for a new Info Vol at Pinkham Notch Visitor Center is someone who loves hiking, loves Mt. Washington, has recent experience on a variety of Mt. Washington trails (and in other areas of the White Mountains), and enjoys talking with other hikers -- especially novice hikers.

Benefits: Free meals & lodging, and retail discounts!

Training: Training includes an in-person day on Sunday, June 8th, as well as a few online sessions through Zoom in May.

Time Commitment: Volunteers commit to volunteering at least 4 days a year (additional volunteering is welcome!), for at least three years. The biggest need for new Pinkham volunteers is for summer weekends and/or weekdays, but volunteer opportunities are available year-round. New volunteers start in the summer.

*Please note that the date listed on Nature Groupie is a tentative deadline for expressing interest because the volunteer roster may fill up early. The actual volunteering dates for new volunteers would be in June, July, and/or August.

To Learn More: Reach out to Kyra Salancy, Volunteer Programs Manager, at amcvolservices@outdoors.org. Some volunteer roles fill up early, so please reach out now (February) if you may be interested.
