Get Involved - Volunteer to help the MCofS!
You have an interest in hill walking, mountaineering or climbing, and probably love the Scottish hills, so volunteering with the MCofS is a great way to put something back. You can contribute to the future of the organisation which represents the interests of more than 10,000 members who enjoy the Scottish mountains!
How can you help?
A team of specialist officers, led by the Chief Officer and supported by a network of volunteers, is responsible for the day to day management of the MCofS and for implementing our strategic and operational plans.
Volunteers include the Board - which is responsible for the overall governance of the MCofS - and the Executive - which is responsible for approving and overseing strategic direction. Volunteers also support and assist our work in the fields of Membership Services, Mountain Safety and Access & Conservation, and through a growing number of working groups which focus on the development of specific mountaineering activities. Working groups advise and support the work of our officers.
We expect members of working groups to have relevant technical skills or experience which will contribute to the work of the Council and support our strategic aims and the achievement of our operational plan.
Details of current vacancies are listed here.
Teamwork
In return, we offer the chance to work alongside a committed group of volunteers who have the interests of our broader membership at heart, and who all enjoy the hills. We offer volunteers reimbursement of travel expenses incurred on MCofS work.
In Good Company
Our volunteers include many well-known personalities from the world of climbing, mountaineering and the outdoors. Most of our volunteers are less well-known and simply want to contribute to the aims of the Council.
