Backpacking Trip Volunteer Training

Are you interested in taking students to beautiful places like Olympic National Park and Donner Summit for two weeks? Our Trip Volunteer Orientation & Training for future trip leaders is coming up this September!

Join us for this 2-hour informational session that will guide you through the process of becoming a volunteer trip volunteer. The emphasis will be on our weekend trips to local state parks and all the criteria for becoming a weekend trip volunteer. Our end goal is to have these trip leaders accompany us on our summer trips where we take almost 200 students from underserved areas in Houston, to national parks in California, Washington, Lake Superior, and Colorado.

The first step to becoming a trip leader is attending our orientation and training on Thursday, September 19, 2024, from 6 to 8:30 pm. This training is free but we request that everyone register in advance due to limited seating. Register here.

If this is your first-time attending one of our events, please go to the volunteer page on our website and complete the Event Volunteer Application.

Please contact Diana Liga, diana@thewoodsproject.org, if you have any questions.
