Come ready to learn, teach, and grow as an ANASAZI TrailWalker!
TrailWalkers (direct care field staff) walk the trail with the same food and gear as the YoungWalkers (students) and in so doing they share in the same experience as those they are guiding forward. Your primary responsibility is to live an exemplary life, teach healthy life skills, and maintain a safe and caring environment. ANASAZI places a great deal of emphasis on TrailWalkers developing healthy relationships with the YoungWalkers and utilizing those relationships, the wilderness, and primitive skills as a medium to teach and help the YoungWalker learn the skills and technologies of the ancient ones and walk forward. TrailWalkers are expected to work 8 day shifts in the field (remote backcountry areas) with 6 days off in between. A MINIMUM of 6 consecutive months of employment is necessary. If invited to training, ANASAZI will provide all the gear a TrailWalker will need to work on the trail (except for personal clothing and boots). Compensation starts at $240/day; health benefits kick in after 60 days. Applicants must be at least 21 years of age and willing to live by high personal standard of conduct on and off the trail.
Apply now for the next TrailWalker Training from August 5th-13th.
