We need the most help with our Kayaking Group Programs! If you are interested in volunteering for multiple activities, but can only commit to one, please consider volunteering for a kayak program.
Outdoors for All partners with a variety of community organizations, parks & recreation departments, hospitals, and schools to provide outdoor recreation throughout the state. Activities are tailored to the partnering group’s specific needs. Group Programs may feature adaptive cycling, kayaking, snowshoeing, rock climbing, yoga, and more. Volunteers are needed to help facilitate activities and to be general support for the event.

GENERAL INFORMATION AND DOCUMENTS
PARTICIPANT PROTECTION POLICIES
SPORT PROTECTION REPORTING FORM
Outdoors for All does not tolerate abuse or neglect of any kind, between any association of staff, volunteers, participants, family members, or caregivers. In Washington State, abuse or neglect is defined as the physical, sexual, or emotional injury of child (or vulnerable adult) by any person under circumstances which cause harm to the individual’s health, welfare, or safety; or the negligent treatment or maltreatment of a child (or vulnerable adult) by a person responsible for or providing care to the child.
If there is suspected abuse or neglect, or a claim of abuse or neglect, taking place within an Outdoors for All program, or with a participant who is involved in an Outdoors for All program, Outdoors for All has a legal and ethical responsibility to report such suspensions or claims to the appropriate authorities and/or support investigations into such claims of abuse or neglect.
During an investigation, Outdoors for All may limit the participation of individuals involved in the claim. Outdoors for All does not have an obligation to share the details of an investigation with those involved in the claim, to protect privacy and prevent retaliation of those involved.
Staff and volunteers complete yearly training on abuse and neglect prevention and
reporting practices within Washington State.
