Whether you're an expert or beginner in outdoor recreation and education (or not particularly outdoorsy at all!) there is a place for you at Wilderness Inquiry!
 Like participants, Wilderness Inquiry staff come from all backgrounds, skillsets, and interests, with one thing in common: all are passionate about making the outdoors a more diverse, equitable, inclusive, and accessible community for all. With various program models, staff can enjoy working on extended trips across the country or spend their days working locally and returning to their own homes every night. Over the course of a single trip, Leaders will embrace many roles including educator, guide, leader and more. Compensation ranges from $19-$24/hour for day programs and $182-$232/day for overnights/extended tours. Staff housing, meals on extended trips, and professional service stipends are also provided.
 Join the team this fall as a Canoemobile Outdoor Leader! Work options include day trips in the Twin Cities as well as regional and national tours ranging from 2-12 weeks in length.
