Become a NH Chapter Hike Leader
The NH Chapter Excursions Committee is made up of a group of people who give their
time freely, leading hikes, or other excursions for the general membership of the
AMC. Our leaders give up a lot of their time to ensure that every participant on
a NH Chapter trip has a fun, but more importantly, safe experience. The trail to
becoming a NH Chapter Hike Leader is not any easy one. You must have proven trail
savvy, pass the leadership training class at one of our workshops, then co-lead
a series of trips under the watchful eyes of mentors.
Because of this training, and the continuing commitment of all our volunteer leaders,
when someone goes on a trip with NH Chapter of the AMC, that person is going with
one of the best Hike Leaders, volunteer or otherwise, that the AMC has to offer.
