Since 2002, Blue Ridge Therapeutic Wilderness has helped teens (12–17) and young adults (18–30) reset, reconnect, and thrive.

Live and work outdoors 8 days on, 6 days off (Tues–Tues). As a Field Instructor, you'll guide students through a journey of growth—managing safety, leading discussions, teaching backcountry skills, and helping them understand their values and choices.

We Provide:

  • Experiential training before you start
  • Ongoing mentorship + biweekly professional development
  • Opportunities for advancement and WFR certification
  • Supportive community and staff culture

Perks + Pay:

  • $150–$215/day (based on experience)
  • Health, dental, vision + 401K w/ 4% match
  • PTO starts on Day 1
  • Gear discounts + dog-friendly field shifts (with approval)
  • Annual bonuses

What You’ll Need:

  • 21+ years old
  • Minimum: HS diploma or undergraduate degree
  • First Aid, CPR/AED
  • Physically fit to hike w/ 25+ lbs
  • Clear drug, background, and physical screenings

Preferred but not required:
Experience with youth, mental health, outdoor living, teaching, or group leadership.

Live nearby? Awesome. Live farther? No problem—just know we don’t provide housing on off-days. Many of our field instructors commute from Asheville, NC and other surrounding areas.
