Entity Structure

The three trustees are involved in the selection and training of a group of guides who commit to being available to lead trips for 2 years. Our current guides have all been with us that long, and are all intending on staying for the coming year. There is a relationship with Wilderness Ministry Institute, but as Wide Open Spaces has matured, more and more training is being done with local trainers
