MT Application

Welcome to the MountainTechs application. The purpose of the application is to determine if there would be a good fit with what you bring and the needs of the project at this time. Since the project needs change from time to time (e.g., we get overloaded with people who specialize in a particular activity, or with people in a particular age category) - there are no right or wrong responses. Just be honest. You'll hear from us within a week. Thanks for your time and interest.

You must be 18 years or older to be considered for the MountainTech Project. Only one family member per city (mates, children, parents, siblings in same city may not apply).

W.L. Gore Associates and their family members are not eligible to be MountainTechs. Employees of companies that compete with W.L. Gore and family members of those employees are not eligible to be MountainTechs. Your personal information will be kept confidential by CEI-Star, LLC and W.L. Gore & Associates.
