Ghost Ranch offers a great instructor opportunity in a very unique setting.

Course proposals are now being taken for the 2009 and 2010 course catalogs. If you would like to teach, please fill in the appropriate form. We ask returning instructors to fill in the form as well, to help avoid ommissions and errors. You will be notified when your proposal is accepted.

Courses should be closely aligned with one of the five Ghost Ranch priorities which were adopted by the Governing Board in October 2001. They are as follows:

1. To provide resources for spiritual life, awakening to the call of God’s Spirit leading people to action, particularly in areas of peace and justice.

2. To inspire leadership for the future of the Church and world, with emphasis on youth and young adults.

3. To expand the diversity among us, encouraging and celebrating a broad cultural, ethnic, economic and ability mix.

4. To reinforce our connectedness in northern New Mexico, its communities, its history, its needs and its environment, with our special concern for land and water.

5. To provide hospitality by expanding welcoming and service skills, and improving accommodations.
