Z-Man Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 On behalf of MRNP: I am looking for a few 'volunteers' this summer. There is a new volunteer program at Mt. Rainier called the 'Teacher-Ranger-Teacher' program. It takes school teachers, puts their interpretive abilities to work for the summer, and in turn the teacher brings home their experiences to the school where they work. We had a great TRT program volunteer last summer at the Climbing Information Center in Paradise. The volunteers get way more of a stipend than normal volunteer do (2009 = $60 / day). They also wear a normal NPS uniform. Last year's volunteer was about 50 and had summited almost 15 times, so he was perfect. He was one of the park's star rescuers as well, going on most of the carryouts from Camp Muir we had. I'm looking for 2 TRT's this year to work mostly at Paradise, and exclusively within the mountaineering district. Stefan Lofgren U.S. Park Ranger Mt.
