"Almost exactly 10 years after coming to Alaska for the first time as a NOLS student, I was working as a pilot dropping off climbers and skiers on the glaciers of Alaska’s most prominent mountains."

Born and raised in rural Kentucky, Asa Darnell heard about NOLS while researching a career in aerospace. Realizing astronauts took NOLS courses to refine their leadership skills, he figured taking a course would be a good first step toward his goal. Now an Alaskan bush pilot and NOLS alumnus, Darnell shares how his 2013 NOLS course impacted his career. Read his words at the link below.

On September 14, NOLS employees, faculty, alumni, and friends worldwide will come together for a global day of service 🌎

This initiative is an opportunity to turn the NOLS leadership model into local action. Whether joining an organized group project in your area or committing to an independent act of service in your community, every effort gives back to the community and reflects the NOLS commitment to leadership, expedition behavior, and positive change.
