Leadership Through Fearless Learning (Feat. Sandy Colhoun)

As President of NOLS, Sandy draws from his own time as a student when he creates programs for today’s students.

Attaining those competencies elevates the leader in everyone. As president of NOLS Sandy’s ultimate mission is to be the leading source and teacher of wilderness skills which in the process creates strong leaders who make a difference in the lives of those they encounter — in any environment.Learning to navigate unknown spaces elevates the leader in everyone.
