Join us in the Gear Library at The Mountaineers Seattle Program Center on Friday April 21 from 10am-2pm for a half-day of volunteering! The Mountaineers Gear Library believes everyone should have the opportunity to get outside and aims to reduce some of the obstacles to having a safe and comfortable outdoor experience. Our gear goes through a decent amount of wear and tear over the course of a year, and we are putting a call out to the community to help restore and organize our fleet!
The Mountaineers Gear Library serves a mix of individuals, families, and internal youth programs. We receive a variety of corporate and individual donations that allow us to offer a wide range of hard and soft goods for outdoor enthusiasts. As a community resource, we rely on the support of our community to sustain ourselves and function.
This time of year marks our transition away from winter activities. Some specific tasks may include matching snowshoes, storing boots, waxing skis, repairing gear, and generally helping us get a jump on spring inventory. This is a great time to connect with the outdoor community in a low-stakes environment, gain volunteer hours, and get to know more about our outdoor gear resources! No experience required, but welcomed if you have any particular skills to share. We’re looking forward to seeing you there!
RSVP to the event, or email us at gearlibrary@mountaineers.org.
