Become a volunteer
Explore Exciting Opportunities to Volunteer!
Thank you very much for your interest in becoming a volunteer for our organization. We’d like to take a second to let you know what we are looking for in a volunteer. It starts with your passion. What do you do in your free time that others would consider work, but you'd do it all day, everyday if you could?
Maybe it's photography, marketing, videography, accounting, financing, organizing or anything else. Maybe you'd like to be involved with logistics, planning hikes, or maintaining equipment. Would you like to help drive, share your property near the mountains or introduce Veterans to our program? Let's talk! Maybe you'd like to help us get into publications, on the news, or help us grow our social media, then please let us know. Are you gifted and experienced with fundraising? We have a committee that focuses solely on that. We'd love to have you on board.

If you’re looking to volunteer for hikes and are a Veteran, please fill out the hike participation form, and plan on hiking with us at least four times. After that, we’ll present you to the Board of Directors as a potential candidate for leading hikes. If approved we’ll help you get your Wilderness First Aid (WFA) Certification and then get you in the rotation of hikes. A Veteran hike leader is optimal for our organization.
