We are very intentional and direct in our process in selecting students to become leaders in the GRAB program.  The students are the backbone of our program, and with that we have two very important issues we must consider during the selection process.  The first consideration for us is to evaluate a student's potential in leading a group of their peers in a manner consistent with our program's philosophy.  The second consideration is evaluating the student's potential in recognizing the difference between personal accountability and professional responsibility.  The end result of our program's mission is not to train students to become successful professionals in the outdoor industry, but rather successful professionals in any industry in which they pursue.  GRAB student receive over 400 hours annually of classroom and field based training, and facilitate domestic and international programs.
