Do you want to help co-lead hikes with us this summer? Do you want to learn what being a MITOC hiking leader is all about? In order to become a 3-Season Hiking Co-Leader, you should attend one of our monthly 3S Safety & Training seminars:

The May seminar will be on Tuesday, May 20th at 6:30PM - 7:30PM in person on MIT campus in 3-270 with a Zoom option available. There will be pizza for those who attend in person and a trip planning social in the same room after the training to network with other prospective leaders and meet more experienced MITOCers! If you can't make this session, there will be further trainings in June and July - keep an eye on the trips page for details.

To become a 3-season co-leader with MITOC you will need to:

• Participate in at least 2 official MITOC hiking trips

• Attend a 3-season hiking Safety & Training Seminar

• Submit an application at mitoc-trips.mit.edu/hiking/leaders/apply

You can move from a co-leader to full leader status after leading 2 hikes as co-leader and receiving upgrade recommendations from full leaders on these trips. We will also assign full-leader status on a case-by-case evaluation of previous outdoor leadership expertise, including your leader rating from Winter School, if applicable. Read more here.
