For a better sense of how we can best use your time and skills, please fill out this form. The information collected on this form will be used internally by the Voyageur Trail Association only and will not be shared with or disclosed to any other organization or publicly.

We always need help clearing trails, keeping the trail maps updated, writing stories about trail adventures, etc. Please refer to the most recent list for current needs and/or specify if you can devote some time on or off the trail.

Most of the maintenance work that is done on the trail is completed with hand tools and people-power. If you do not have experience on any of the tools, you will be trained on how to use them safely.

Power tools, such as trimmers and power saws, require personal protective equipment (PPE) and certification as well. Occasionally we will host training for these tools. Safety is paramount on maintenance outings and you will not be expected to perform a task that you are not briefed on.

We encourage you to spend some time exploring our map to identify which Club is in your area. VTA Overview Map

By completing this survey, you give us permission to contact you about volunteer opportunities. You may opt out of volunteering at any time. Please indicate whether you are over 18. We welcome those under the age of 18 but will need to make sure your parent/guardian is ok with your volunteering.
