The WCC is completely volunteer-driven. The more people who join us, the stronger we'll be! Here are some ways you can help:
Area Contacts: We want to build a network of "area contacts" for cragging and bouldering areas around the state. An area contact would be the eyes and ears of the WCC at the local level. He or she would keep in touch with what's going on at the local crag; get to know the land manager; help with outreach; and take the initiative to be proactive with crag stewardship (like identifying where a clean-up or trail project might be needed). You don't have to sign on to do all these things--just let us know what you want to do. You also don't have to be well-known or a rad climber to volunteer--just interested in the future of your area!
WCC Resources: We also want to build a roster of volunteers with specific skills to help our mission. These skills include:
Trail crew leaders
Recreation planning
Wildlife biology
Botany
Outreach
Event planning
Grant writing
Journalism/general writing skills
Real estate
Legal
Non-profit experience
Web development & design
Graphic design
Accounting
WCC Members: You can help by simply counting yourself as a WCC member! Sign up and participate in our discussion forum. Keep an eye on the "Current Issues" page on this site. Watch for upcoming projects and turn out to help. Let us know when you see an issue brewing. Start talking with other climbers about how you can make things better.
We welcome the help of all Washington climbers! Please send ideas, questions or comments, or just your contact information so we can keep in touch.
Washington Business Supporters: In addition to private members and volunteers, the WCC has recieved some support from local businesses. If you have a climbing shop or a gym, we'd be happy to have you display our notices and action alerts, have you sponsor a crag clean-up, or participate in any other aspect of our program. If you are a climber, we suggest that you support those business that support us. Last year, two businesses, in particular, helped with fundraising.
