APPALACHIAN MOUNTAIN CLUB

About

At the heart of the Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC) lies a profound and enduring commitment to the natural world, a legacy that has flourished since our founding in 1876. We are more than just an outdoor recreation organization; we are a vibrant community dedicated to fostering the protection, enjoyment, and understanding of the outdoors. Our culture is rooted in the belief that nature is a shared treasure, one that requires active stewardship and a collective voice to preserve for future generations. From the rugged peaks of the White Mountains to the lush forests of the Mid-Atlantic, our team works tirelessly to connect people with the transformative power of nature. Our mission is driven by a passion for conservation and education, ensuring that the wild places we love remain accessible and healthy. We believe in the power of community, bringing together members, volunteers, and staff who share a common vision of a world where the outdoors occupies a central place in every person's life. Whether it's through maintaining over 1,800 miles of trails, conducting vital scientific research on alpine ecosystems, or providing outdoor leadership training to the next generation of stewards, every action we take is a step towards a more sustainable future. We value inclusivity and accessibility, striving to create opportunities for people of all backgrounds to experience the joy and wonder of the natural world. At AMC, we don't just visit the outdoors; we live it, we protect it, and we inspire others to do the same.
