BOLD & GOLD inspires courage, confidence, and multi-cultural leadership in diverse groups of young people ages 11-18 years old through wilderness experiences. The challenge and beauty of the outdoors comes together on single-day outings, multiday overnight trips, and 1 to 2 week expeditions.

We are always looking for talented educators to lead our hiking, backpacking, fishing, rock climbing, snowshoeing, and mountaineering expeditions. If you are a passionate educator and seek to transform future generations while working some of the most spectacular parts of the Pacific Northwest please apply online!
