What is the Outdoor Leadership Program?

The Outdoor Leadership Program (OLP) is an optional component of the Group Facilitation Fellowship (GFF) (more details below). You must participate in the GFF to participate in the OLP, but don’t have to do the OLP as part of the GFF. This semester-long practical experience is designed to teach 8 selected participants the fundamentals of outdoor leadership.

Who should apply?

Any and all first and second year students at Gettysburg College who possess a motivation to develop their skills in leadership— especially in an outdoor context—, self- improvement, public speaking skills, collaboration, and real-time decision making. Those interested in leading outdoor experiences as GLC staff are especially encouraged to apply.

How do I apply?

This year, the process is the simplest it’s ever been, use link above or navigate to the GLC Leadership Program Application in Engage. There is only one application for all 3 fall programs (the GFF, OLP, and Leadership Certificate (LC))— fill this out by Monday, September 16th and wait to hear back from our team.

<aside> 👥 Group Facilitation Fellowship (GFF): A 6-week intensive open to first and second year students who are selected through an application and interview process. Participants will develop skills in group leadership, navigating difference, and facilitating engaging meetings.
