What Makes Great Leaders?
You. That is all we need.
Our adventure leaders support the majority of Wild Diversity's programing. They lead single day and multi day adventures on land and on water. Our Leadership Development Program focus on developing the leadership of outdoorists and community members into outdoor leaders, regardless of the level of previous leadership or outdoor experience, through a combination of workshops, field training, feedback and growth. Their passion is what determines the adventures they lead.
Our Leadership Development Training coming up Spring 2020. Get on our mailing list for up to date news.
