Group Volunteering:

We welcome groups to come volunteer at our events. If you plan on having more than 10 people come on a particular weekend, just let us know via email (hello@mountvernontrail.org) no less than one week prior to the day of the event. It is critical that you reach out and ensure everyone volunteering with your group registers through this EventBrite link so we can better plan work scope, prepare supplies, and promote your group’s attendance on social media. You can read more about group volunteering on our website here.
Are you a Scout troop leader? Our events are great for troops looking for volunteer hours. Please reach out as we have patches we can distribute at the event!
