2024 Course Leader Application
Knoxville, TN
May 1, 2024
Tayseer Wilderness was seeking passionate and committed individuals to join our team as Course Leaders.
As a Tayseer Wilderness Course Leader, you would have had the opportunity to guide transformative outdoor experiences that combined adventure, personal growth, and Islamic spirituality.
Course Leaders were expected to maintain a Wilderness First Aid certification, attend monthly training webinars, and lead courses for at least 1-2 weeks per year. In return, you would have received high-level training, free participation in Tayseer Wilderness Course, and covered costs for Wilderness First Aid tuition and travel expenses when leading courses.
This was an excellent opportunity to develop your leadership skills, deepen your connection with the Tayseer community, and make a positive impact on the lives of others. If you were committed to personal and professional growth, and shared our passion for outdoor exploration and Islamic values, we encouraged you to apply.
