Chapter Youth Program Re-Launches

The New York-North Jersey Chapter is gearing up to re-launch its chapter youth program, AMC Outings for Urban Kids (AOK), which will link urban youth groups with AMC leaders interested in sharing the wonder and adventure of the outdoors. The program will be targeted to children and teens who may not have had any previous opportunities to explore the natural environment.

If you are interested in becoming a youth activity leader, please contact Richard Barcia at 212-303-8889 (w), (212) 832-0232 (h) or for further information. Please note that all leaders must undergo a background check as well as training, which will be provided by the AMC.

We are also presently looking for at least two chapter youth program coordinators to help supervise the program and serve as liaisons to participating agencies.

We hope that you will consider becoming part of this exciting and rewarding endeavor.

Programs Committee

          The Chapter Program Committee conducts educational programs and entertainment activities for AMC members and the public. Some of our programs are free, others have an admission charge. Programs may vary from a simple slide show of a recent interesting trip, to an all-day excursion on one of the Hudson River Sloops. Our currently scheduled programs are shown in our online Programs Schedule.

          Our Program Chair is always looking for interesting program ideas. If you have an interesting program yourself, or know of someone who does, please tell our Chair.

Contact information for committee members can be found on the Chapter Committee page.
