Job Title:  Missionary Instructor               

Department:   COR Expeditions

Status:  Full Time w/ benefits

Compensation:  Determined by ability to acquire and maintain a support team. 

Reports to:  Zach Carlstrom, Assistant Director

Work Schedule:  This is not a typical Monday through Friday, 9-5 position. Morning, evening, and weekend work as well as travel around the US and extensive 24/7 time in the backcountry are required. Field work is typically week on week off, alternating with office work. Busy seasons and long courses may require extended periods in the field. Typically around 150 field days a year, 40 hours a week when in the office. 

About the Program:  COR Expeditions is the wilderness ministry outreach program of Wyoming Catholic College in Lander, Wyoming. COR exists to reclaim the wealth of people’s identity and purpose in Christ through a wide variety of wilderness experiences. We accompany people through relational ministry by exposing them to encounter Jesus in wilderness, adventure, and community.  COR seeks employees who are passionate about that mission, dedicated, solution oriented, and motivated to improve their skills. 

COR was born from the success of WCC’s faith-based Outdoor Leadership Program. COR is fundamentally oriented towards sharing the spiritual and leadership goals of this program with a wider audience beyond the college community and becoming the premier Catholic wilderness ministry through its adherence to the professional and safety standards of the outdoor industry. 

COR works with a variety of programs, including youth groups, seminaries, high schools, colleges, and young adult groups, as well as promoting its own open enrollment trips. This variety also impacts the various roles and teachings COR field staff facilitate and guide. COR also partners with other Catholic ministries and secular groups to provide a faith-filled professional guiding presence. 

COR is based in Lander WY and provides courses in over 20 wilderness areas throughout the mountain and desert west. COR operates base camp properties in both Buena Vista, Colorado and Moab, Utah as well as a family ranch program in Cody, Wyoming. 

Position Summary:  

There are two primary roles of this position: field instruction and fundraising personal support.
