Youth and Teen Trail Work Parties

Join WTA for a day on trail to give back to the hiking community and earn service hours.

WTA offers volunteer trail work parties exclusively for teens.  These one-day work parties provide a unique opportunity for young people to learn about trail maintenance and trails in their communities while meeting other young people interested in the outdoors.

Volunteers can earn up to eight hours of community service each day. After five work parties, volunteers earn a special green hard hat with their name on it.

Youth ages 10 and up are encouraged to participate. All youth under 18 must have a Parental Consent Form signed by parent or guardian. In addition, kids ages 13 and under must be accompanied by a parent or guardian during the work party.
