ROPE needs you!

Interested in working with ROPE to lead program trips beginning Fall 2008? ROPE program trip leaders are Rice students who volunteer to facilitate a few trips per semester as the liaison between ROPE staff and student and faculty participants. Trip Leaders are responsible for executing the trip itineraries developed by ROPE staff in a safe, educational, and fun manner. In return, trip leaders get to spread their enthusiasm for the outdoors as well as fully subsidized trips and gear rentals! Apply to be a trip leader today!
