Join us!

Membership in Mountain Legacy is free, and we don't have any secret handshakes or non-disclosure agreements. Just get involved. Here are a few ways:

  1. Join our MountainLegacy Googlegroup. Just send an email to mountainlegacy+subscribe@googlegroups.com. Join a conversation, or start a new one.
  2. Join our Facebook pages:
    Mountain Legacy / Hillary Medal;
    Sir Edmund Hillary Centennial;
    Ithaca-Pokhara Sister Cities Project;
    and/or Disaster Management University
  3. Take a volunteer vacation with one of our collaborators: Scott MacLennan's Mountain Fund, Dan Mazur's Mt. Everest Foundation for Sustainable Development, Saheen and Nasreen Sheikh's Local Women's Handicrafts. Or collaborate with them wherever you are. And write an article about it for Dr. Jessie Voigt's travel blog, WanderingEducators.com.
  4. Help us expand our Publications page: send us titles and links for your own works, or recommend other things you think we ought to know about.
  5. Help with the Sir Edmund Hillary Mountain Legacy Medal. We need on-the-ground collaborators in Pokhara. (Presentation events are on December 11, International Mountain Day.) If you feel qualified to serve on the Selection Committee, send us an email with a cv or the equivalent. Nominate yourself or anyone else you believe deserves the Hillary Medal.
  6. Donate! The Hillary Medal is an expensive project, and we have been self-funding it largely out of our pockets -- not a sustainable situation. To give this award the international prestige it deserves, we need a substantial endowment fund.
  7. If you live in Ithaca NY (or thereabouts) or in Pokhara, join the Ithaca-Pokhara Sister Cities project . Email us and we'll figure out what you can do.
