How to Apply for the Volunteer Host Training

We need to know about your skills and experience, willingness to learn certain tasks, willingness and ability to lead a program (without direct Mountain staff support), and availability to come and perform your duties, not only this year but also in future years.

The Program host is responsible for assisting the Staff Liaison in ensuring we provide all the services to meet the needs of the group or function. Most hosts help with weekend programs but we also need to support some week-long programs. We ask hosts to arrive here by 3:00 pm on the first day and be able to stay through lunch on the last day. Duties may include the following:

  • escorting guests to their lodging and showing them particular features
  • assisting with announcements and orientation
  • setting up meeting rooms including audio-visual, easels etc.
  • assisting our kitchen or housekeeping staffs
  • assisting with activities (including driving Mountain vehicles)
  • taking care of Social Time (setting up beverage service, preparing popcorn
    cleaning up and turning in donations)
  • helping to lead a walk or hike
  • other duties that may be assigned for certain groups-- being First Aid qualified in strongly encouraged, as you will be with the group if they are out on activities.
