New Volunteer Opportunity - The Summit
The Summit is looking for a new Social Media Volunteer!

About The Summit
The Summit is organised by Marketing Director Phil Young and All The Elements founder Soraya Abdel-Hadi.
We invite representatives from marginalised outdoor community groups to take part in a residential weekend of workshops, providing these outdoor community leaders focused on POC audiences the opportunity to share their knowledge, lived experience and their outdoor activities with others.
It’s a space for ideas to grow and experiences to be shared between people who face similar challenges. We also invite outdoor sector organisations to join us for important conversations on access and representation.
This would be an ideal opportunity for someone looking to develop their media and comms skills and to create valuable contacts in the outdoor/sports diversity space.
The Summit is supported by Patagonia and HF Holidays.
