Are you looking for an adventurous and fulfilling experience where you can take on a mentorship role? Here’s your chance! Become a First-Year Trips leader for Summer 2024 and lead a group of students on a unique outdoor adventure. The Adventure WV First-Year Trips (FYTs) program provides a variety of trips and activities for incoming first-year students in the summer before their first Fall semester. Student staff are the core of our FYT programs; all trips and programs are led from start to finish by student staff with the support of the AWV professional staff behind the scenes. FYT Student Staff are trained to provide meaningful and fun experiences to incoming students, allowing their groups to develop strong friendships, adventure around the state, learn about WVU, and engage in relevant discussions about their transition to college.
No outdoor education experience is necessary to apply for an FYT leader position. Applications are now open.
