  • This isn't just any volunteer gig—it's a chance to support a purpose-driven organization dedicated to harnessing the healing power of nature for individuals overcoming substance use disorders. You're not just leading hikes or outings; you're actively changing lives, supporting recovery, and strengthening your sober community!

    • Free Swag & Gear: Look good while doing good! Receive plenty of branded merch to wear and share.

    • Wilderness First Aid Certification: Gain valuable skills with free certification—we've got your back!

    • Fully Supported Events: We cover everything from event registrations (camping fees, zoo tickets, etc.) to essential gear, first aid kits, promo materials, and swag.

    • Marketing & Promotion: We handle all the heavy lifting—local advertising, targeted marketing, and event communications before, during, and after your event.

    • Flexibility & Fun: Events typically last 2-5 hours, with occasional overnight camping trips starting in your chapter’s second year. Scheduling is flexible—no need to host on holidays or long weekends, and we'll adjust if life throws you a curveball.

    • Financial Support: In some cases, we'll even cover your gas, meals, and any unexpected expenses. We want you to focus on the fun, not the funds.

    • Host a minimum of 3 events per quarter (roughly 1 per month), with encouragement to host even more if you're feeling adventurous!

    • Promote your events and the mission of Sober Outdoors on social media and within your networks.

    • Commit to at least 4 months from May 1st through August 31st (with hopes you'll continue through winter).

    • Minimum of 6 months of sobriety from all mind-altering substances.

    • Some volunteer experience, particularly with events, preferred but not required.

    • General knowledge of local outdoor hikes, go-to national parks, etc., and other fun and engaging local events!

    • A positive, can-do, forward thinking, and open approach and attitude to not just sobriety but to life in general!

    • Must be 18 years old or older.

    • General knowledge of available treatment for SUD and local support groups like, but not limited to, AA, Recovery Dharma, SMART Recovery, etc.
