The MEC Adventure Access Program is a unique, exclusive partnership between the ACMG and MEC wherein eligible organizations and affinity groups can apply for subsidies to cover the cost of certified guides and instructors for exciting trips.
The MEC Community Scholarship was established to assist aspiring mentors and leaders in climbing instruction, hiking guiding and mountain guiding fields, and further their personal and professional development through additional Training and Assessment Program courses and exams.
While the genesis of the program in 2009 targeted youth, MEC's generosity and commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion has allowed expansion to cover organizations that represent BIPOC, LGBTQ2S+, adaptive and other marginalized communities. There are enough barriers to recreating outside - money should not be an additional one.
If your organization serves youth or members of any marginalized community, consider applying so that they might experience rock climbing, via ferrata, hiking, backpacking, snowshoeing or waterfall ice climbing under the care and expertise of an ACMG certified guide or instructor.
