Leadership Training opportunities through Outdoor Stewardship Institute
VOC offers a wide variety of leadership training opportunities through our Outdoor Stewardship Institute (OSI). OSI training courses are open to the public, and are great for VOC volunteers who want to take on volunteer leadership roles, and volunteers/staff from other agencies and organizations who want to develop technical and leadership skills. OSI will be offering several workshops in the Valley to help prepare for the upcoming field season.
