Adventure Leaders are paid employees of the City of Albuquerque Parks and Recreation Department and parental and intern volunteers.  The City of Albuquerque has pledged its staff and procedures for our organizational trips and adventures, as a donation to the youth of Albuquerque. 

The Adventure Leaders must submit to a background screening during the hiring process.  Once hired, they endure extensive training on safe driving procedures, dealing with groups, disruptive behavior, problem solving and positive motivational techniques.  They follow a strict learned protocol to make every adventure safe and a positive learning experience. 

NMX will also carry detailed information on the kids’ medical history and emergency contact information should any situations arise.  All of these proven policies and procedures are mandated by the City and NMX are in place to ensure a smooth adventure each time.

These well trained Adventure Leaders are essential to the success of NMX Sports.  They will participate on every trip and be responsible for the kids on that day’s activity.  The number of Adventure Leaders will be determined by the amount of NMX members on the trips, but will be no less that one chaperone per seven members. 

We will also be seeking volunteers (i.e. parents, college students, etc.) to help assist us on our trips and adventures.  All volunteers will be trained on the proven policies and procedures set forth by the Boy Scouts of America and the City of ABQ’s Park and Rec. Dept.   Should you be interested or know of somebody who is interested in assisting us voluntarily for these trips, please contact us via our website at www.nmxsports.org. 

The City and NMX share the mutual goal of providing a safe and fun service for the kids of Albuquerque.
