Outings Leader for the Great Basin Group of the Toiyabe Chapter
Hiking Leader in Northern Nevada
After you've been hiking for a while and have become familiar with some of the trails, you may feel eager to share your enjoyment of the outdoors with others as a Sierra Club Outings Leader. The Great Basin Group of the Toiyabe Club, offers the perfect opportunity!
The benefits of hiking with Sierra Club are our knowledge of local flora, fauna and issues, free training, support, insurance, and the strong wildlife protection ethics shared by Sierra Club and our members.
Take that first step and attend an Leadership Training Program Seminar! The Great Basin Group’s (GBG) motto is "We Get You Outdoors" Although we cover the high desert of the Great Basin, our outings also visit the northern Sierra Nevada and places farther. With so many wonderful places to hike and explore nearby, it's no wonder that our Group has one of the most active outings schedules in the Sierra Club.
What Are The Qualities Needed For Leadership? Judgment, inspiration, awareness and current membership in the Sierra Club are the most important qualities in a leader. Fitness level, gender, skin color, sexual orientation, religion, income and educational level do not matter. We welcome and encourage people of all ages and from all backgrounds to become outings leaders! The more diverse our leaders are, the more diverse are the outings we can offer!
Why Be A Sierra Club Leader? The leadership skills -- and confidence -- that you develop have been known to extend beyond hiking into professional and personal lives. Leading an outing means that you can set the destination, the participants and the pace. Without leaders, our Schedule of Activities outings would not exist.
Join today! The Great Basin Group is recruiting outdoor hikers to be trained, supported and lead hikes. To connect with the Great Basin Group contact Robert Jarrett at jarrettrl02@gmail.com.
