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. We recognize the need to serve larger communities and we are collaborating with partners that share this vision. With the generous support of AMGA partner, Black Diamond, 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.
This course is designed for anyone who identifies as BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) and would like to continue their education as a rock guide. Tuition assistance is given in the form of a full scholarship to all those accepted into the program.
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.

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, but we are hoping to secure partner funding similar to previous years. We will keep applicants udpated on the status of this. The program will run as a women's RGC regardless.
This program is for anyone who identifies as a woman and would like to continue their education as a rock guide.

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. This course is designed for anyone who identifies as a woman and would like to continue their education as a ski guide. We would like to support underrepresented communities to pursue guide training and education at the AMGA. At this time, this is not a tuition-assisted program but we are looking for partner support and will keep applicants updated.

This program is based out of Sol Mountain Lodge in the Monashee Range, BC. We are so excited to be back at Sol—the snowpack is consistently deep, and the lodge offers a unique AMGA SGC experience.
Because of the lodge-based nature of this program, the SOL SGC is 9 days in length.
