Become a Whale Rep

The Whale Foundation needs guides on the ground and on the water to make sure their peers know about our programs and services and how to access and get the most out of them.

As a Foundation, we rely on the support, financial and otherwise, of those who care about the wellbeing of the Grand Canyon river guiding community. That's family, friends, outfitters, and the passengers we usher downstream.

By sharing our mission with both fellow guides and passengers, you'll be ensuring our assistance is there for anyone who may need it.

After completing a short training program, the main duties of the Whale Rep are to educate their fellow guides on the Whale Foundation’s services, distribute information within their outfit, and provide community feedback to the Whale Foundation Executive Director & Board on how to better serve the community. Additionally, Whale Reps educate passengers about the Whale Foundation and how they can contribute.

  • Share our mission and programs with friends and fellow guides who may benefit from our services

  • Tell family and friends about us and how they can help

  • Talk to your passengers about how they can be involved, by donating, volunteering, or attending the Wing Ding or other events
