Evergreen East Needs Your Help – Volunteer Today!

All of the work we do is done by volunteers. We are always looking for people to help us out in a wide variety of capacities both behind the scenes and on the trails. Some of our volunteer work is event based and some is ongoing. Evergreen East is strictly volunteer based; we don’t have paid staff. We depend on the help of the local mountain bike community to make things happen.

If you work for a larger company, check with your HR Department for information on their volunteer hours matching program.

And we need people to help! These volunteer positions typically last anywhere from a couple hours to a full day.

Coaches and Assistants – Our education program is growing! Teaching mountain bike skills is a great way to give back to our sport.  We can use assistants to help make classes happen and coaches to teach. Evergreen has a fantastic, professional training program to teach you how to teach.

Other projects:  Our signage at Camp Sekani is 1/2 done, and the map is out of date. These are just two examples of projects that need volunteers to finish them.
