Lessons for Today, Leadership for the Future

Over forty-five years ago, legendary mountaineer Paul Petzoldt established NOLS to train skilled leaders and competent, confident wilderness travelers. The lessons were simple. The consequences were real. The results? Life-changing.

Today, the NOLS Annual Fund fuels the mission that Paul created.  By funding scholarships, research and outreach programs, the Annual Fund connects the leaders of tomorrow with those lessons from the past.
