American Mountain Guides Association

The American Mountain Guides Association (AMGA) is a non-profit organization that represents the interests of American mountain guides and climbing instructors by providing support, education, and standards. They are the sole US representative to International Federation of Mountain Guides Associations (IFMGA), the international governing body responsible for guiding standards and education around the world. The American Mountain Guide Certification is the highest credential for professional mountain guides in the US.

In addition to AMGA's mission to train guides, promote professional standards, and support its members, they also advocate for access to public lands and responsible stewardship of natural resources.
