Ways to volunteer.

We host trail-work parties with our partners around the region on National Trails Day (the first Saturday of June) and Ridge Trail Service Day (the first Saturday of November). Sign-up below to be notified about these fun events! If you want to provide on-going trail maintenance, we’ll get you connected you to volunteer opportunities in your area.
If interested in volunteering in this way, please email volunteer@ridgetrail.org

Special Events
Learn moreLend a Helpful Hand at an Event
Our volunteers are guides, sweeps, planners, cooks, cheerleaders, beer servers, and more during our special events and trail dedications! No experience is required, but you must bring your enthusiasm for the trail and like showing up early or staying late. We could not host our annual events like Ridge to Bridge, East Bay Hills Trails Benefit, and Tour de Fat without your help.
If interested in volunteering in this way, please email volunteer@ridgetrail.org

Local Trail Advocacy
Learn moreBecome a local expert on the Ridge Trail and share your knowledge with others.
TAG-you’re it! Trail Advocacy Groups (TAGs) are local groups who meet regularly to lead Ridge Trail outings, organize trail maintenance, and build support for new trail construction in their region. Sit in on the next TAG meeting to see how you can help plan and promote the Ridge Trail in your area. Or, just come and help us staff an informational table at a local community event or festival and talk with people about the Ridge Trail.
If interested in volunteering in this way, please email advocacy@ridgetrail.org.

Outings Leader
Learn moreGuide an Outing on the Ridge Trail
If you know where the Ridge Trail’s best 360 degree views, historic sites, wildflowers or other wonders are, enjoy planning trip logistics, and love sharing the trail with others-we need you! Whether you like to experience the Ridge Trail on a sunset trail run, a long-distance mountain bike ride, or an informative or social hike, we need new outings leaders to take out members and non-members out on trail outings throughout the year!
