Spend some of your weekend with our Ranger Service! Envision this: fresh air, amazing vistas, hand tools carving mountainside trails, like-minded outdoor enthusiasts to your left and right, some dirt under your fingernails and maybe some sore – and stronger – muscles tomorrow... sound like your kind of morning? If you love to be outside, don’t mind mild to strenuous physical tasks, and are ready to learn – and respond! - how to build hiking and mountain biking trails then this could be the volunteer role for you or your team!
This volunteer contributes their time, talent, and physical efforts to assist the Ranger Service Division with hand-built sections of trail construction projects under the guidance and supervision of City staff. With volunteers’ consistent support, Ranger Service team members’ bandwidth and capability for trail construction is greatly increased and sustained to improve and preserve the City’s trail system.
Saturday shifts are generally from 9 AM to Noon. Special group assignments will vary depending on the activity and site and be communicated with ample notice.
Please see the Volunteer Position Description for more information on the role, scope of responsibilities and expectations.
11–15-year-olds need to have a legal guardian with them on the workday (with both minor + guardian completing waivers), 16 & 17 year-olds are cleared to volunteer without a legal guardian (with both minor + guardian completing waivers) and of course those over 18 welcomed so long as waivers are completed. All individuals, regardless of age will need two things at minimum: an Engage SLO profile and Volunteer Waiver completed. Please contact [email protected] with any questions at least 10 business days in advance of scheduled workday.
