I went into it just wanting a chance to play in the snow and learn a little bit about Wilderness First-aid. But what I got out of it was so much more than that. I gained so much confidence in myself and in my abilities to not only address medical situations but to be an effective leader.

I learned more than I thought possible in just a few days and honestly I never knew learning over spring break and playing out scenarios in the snow could be so fun. Whether you’re a past volunteer, aspiring GIVE employee, or someone who just stumbled upon this DO IT.
