The location and dates were changed on 12/16/25. This program is scheduled to run at Smith Rock, Oregon, from September 10 - 17, 2025.
Through our reflection on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), the American Mountain Guides Association (AMGA) has identified affinity-based access as a key area of growth. Affinity programs are designed to create space for AMGA members from underrepresented groups within guiding, instructing, climbing, and skiing/snowboarding.
[July 3, 2025 Update] - With the generous support of AMGA partner, Berghaus, we have created an opportunity to take the next step in the Rock Guide track, with an Affinity BIPOC Rock Guide Course that will serve historically underrepresented communities within the AMGA. Students enrolled in this program will receive tuition assistance in the form of a 50% scholarship.

Over the last few years, the American Mountain Guides Association has reflected on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) within our association, recognizing areas of growth and creating an action plan. One of our key focuses is creating accessibility to our courses through various initiatives like the women’s Single Pitch Instructor Course and women’s Rock Guide Course.
At this time, this is not a tuition-assisted program.
This program is for anyone who identifies as a woman and would like to continue their education as a rock guide.
Please note there are two parts to the application process. You must complete the Rock Guide Course Resume template and the Essay Application. More information will be provided when this application opens.

3) Email Jesse Littleton ([email protected]) proof of veteran status
4) Once your materials have been reviewed, you will be eligible to become enrolled in the course if space is available (like all AMGA programs, entrance is competitive and we may receive more applications than we have spaces available - meeting the prerequisites is not a guarantee of enrollment, please review the process for application review here)
