OVERVIEW
Access Fund is the nonprofit advocacy organization that leads and inspires the climbing community toward sustainable access and conservation of the climbing environment. Founded in 1991, Access Fund represents more than 8 million climbers nationwide in its work to protect and conserve the land, fight for sustainable access, and build a community of inspired advocates. We execute on that mission across six core program areas: Public Lands Policy & Advocacy, Stewardship & Conservation, Land Acquisition & Protection, Grassroots Organizing & Advocacy, Risk Management & Landowner Support, and Climber Education.
Access Fund is currently seeking six Climber Stewards to connect with and educate visitors, especially climbers, throughout Indian Creek, Utah; Red River Gorge, Kentucky; and New River Gorge, West Virginia. The Climber Stewards are a part of Access Fund’s stewardship & education programming. Stewards will work alongside Access Fund and federal partners including Bureau of Land Management (BLM), National Park Service (NPS), and United States Forest Service (USFS) as well as partner organizations across select climbing landscapes to connect, inspire, and educate the increasing number of visiting climbers.
Climber Stewards help to serve as a critical link between the climbing community and the important message of Leave No Trace (LNT) as well as critical protective ethics and behaviors. Climber Stewards have the opportunity to learn and develop skills in recreation management, resource protection, education and outreach, public land management, and more. If you have a passion for protecting climbing areas and love engaging and educating other climbers, this is your chance to to live in and explore for a season while helping to preserve key climbing areas for current and future generations.
