Say Hello to Our New Outdoor Specialists

Join us in welcoming four new Outdoor Specialists to the CREW! These talented individuals will assist with weekend adventures.

Amanda Forbes

A monthly volunteer since January 2019, Amanda brings to the CREW extensive outdoor experience with teens. While living in Utah, she worked for a Wilderness Therapy Program for teenage boys working through addiction. In 2013, Amanda hiked 600 miles of the Appalachian Trail to raise money for mental health. Welcome to the CREW, Amanda!

A graduate of Thomas More University, Nate comes to the CREW with an impressive adventure resume, including attending the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS). Nate’s passion for outdoor recreation includes extensive experience with rock climbing, backpacking, and wilderness first aid. Glad to have you with us, Nate!

Sophie Revis

Sophie knows firsthand the transformative potential of time spent in nature. She witnesses it in her work with Groundwork Ohio River Valley and during her time serving with AmeriCorps NCCC in Colorado. Sophie’s combined love of recreation and conservation is sure to be a benefit to our teens!
