FAQs
Can I add my volunteer service to my resume or job applications?
Yes. The experience, knowledge and skills you gain as a volunteer are applicable to many paid positions in both public and private sectors. Volunteer work often demonstrates to prospective employers your personal initiative, enthusiasm, and dedication.
Do I need a special skill set to volunteer?
No, we will teach you what you need to know. Just show up ready for fun and to learn a new skill!
Please note that most trail volunteer work involves a rigorous hike over rocky terrain and strenuous manual labor.
Are there age limits for volunteers?
At this time, we can accommodate volunteers ages 13 and up. Young people, ages 13-18, can volunteer provided that the work does not pose a threat to their health or safety or violate Federal or State child labor laws or the policies of the agency’s volunteer program. A parent or legal guardian must give written consent before a person under 18 years of age may volunteer.
