Get Outside strives to promote activism in all those who wish to get involved in the program. By getting involved, participants are given the opportunity to enhance the leadership skills that they gain through the outdoor activities in which they participate throughout the year. Thus, we are always looking for those who are willing and able to take the next step and become an active participant in the development and promotion of the program. If you enjoy the outdoors and would like to get more actively involved in “Get Outside”…check out the following opportunities:
- Trip Coordinators
Are responsible for not only helping plan the monthly outdoor activities/trips, but also organizing them (e.g., obtaining permits and/or maps, reserving camp sites, organizing meals, etc), advertising the trip, and putting together the monthly lunch meeting (agenda, guest speaker, etc.) prior to the date of the specific trip.
- Marketing Coordinators
Are responsible for promoting the Outdoor Leadership Program as well as the monthly and individual trips organized by the Trip Coordinators. In addition Marketing Coordinators promote the monthly lunch meetings and look at ways to increase student participation and involvement in the program.
- Gear Coordinators
Are responsible for helping find gear for those who either, do not have what is needed and need to borrow, or are looking to purchase their own. Gear Coordinators also maintain a list of equipment needed for various types of trips as well as the cost and availability of equipment at local outdoor stores and Internet sites.
All coordinators receive many great benefits, including a discount on any trip that they participate in, a free explorer post card, and access to all program equipment, books, & videos.
If you would like to become a coordinator, contact us at olp@utulsa.edu for more info!
