Davidson Outdoors Affinity Trip Leaders provide affinity-based programming, outreach and support for student diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives at Davidson Outdoors. Supervised by the Directors of Davidson Outdoors, this position will serve as a critical leader in developing strong interpersonal relationships with historically and systemically minoritized student communities. While we aim to support many such communities through Davidson Outdoors such as undocumented students and first-generation students, this role is particularly aimed at creating affinity spaces to support students of color & LGBTQIA+ students.

Through creating spaces that are designed specifically for student populations underrepresented in the outdoors, this position is tasked with leading trips that connect students to each other and existing affinity spaces outside of Davidson College.

This position includes weekend work up to 20 hours.
