Guide Apprenticeships

Some of us began our guiding careers by serving an extended apprenticeship with an older more experienced guide. We all agree in the value of learning the guiding profession by apprenticing. To that end, several of our members offer apprentice guide positions. This may be appropriate for an aspiring guide or a current guide who wants to learn more about a particular type of guiding. The specifics of each apprenticeship vary depending on the guide services involved.
