Volunteering with ETC has been an incredible experience and opportunity. They are incredibly organized (even compared to for-profit outdoor guide services I've worked for) and dedicated to getting anyone and everyone out on the water. They foster a very inclusive environment and I've met so many amazing participants and fellow guides as a result.

I first found ETC 10 years ago and my life changed forever. Starting with the winter program, I moved to the river rafting and then helped with ocean kayaking. ETC not only does amazing things for the disability and underprivileged communites, they have created an environment within thier staff and volunteers that is unmatched. I dare you to find someone associated with ETC that wouldn’t welcome you, no matter who you are, with open arms. ETC is a family. That family extends over thousands of miles and changes people forever. Even though I haven’t been a part of their trips in a decade, (I currently live in VA) they, and the memories I made, are always with me!

I am a volunteer with the organization. They create an amazing community of fun and acceptance. Whether on the river, kayaking on the bay or cross-country skiing in the mountains, this makes for a wonderful experience for participants and essential life lessons for volunteers. Many of the other volunteers have gone on to become some of my dearest friends- it is a real community.
