ROC offers many types of volunteer opportunities throughout the year with varying levels of involvement and physical activity. Our volunteer opportunities include trail projects, fundraising events, festivals, group outings, clean-ups and more. We also have Trail Boss and River Steward programs for those who would like to take special interest in a certain section of trail or river.
Volunteering is a great way to build skills, meet people, and give back to the community all while having fun. We invite and encourage individuals and groups of all backgrounds and ages to get involved and help grow a stronger community.
If you or your group would like more information on volunteer opportunities, reach out to trails@rutherfordoutdoor.org.
Our Trail Boss and River Steward programs are teams of dedicated volunteer leaders that take special interest and ownership of our trail and river systems, protecting and preserving them for generations to come. Trail Bosses and River Stewards get out on the trails and river on a regular basis and are asked to report any issues, assist with minor maintenance, and help to keep their sections clean.
If you are interested in becoming a Trail Boss or River Steward, please contact our Trail Programs Manager at trails@rutherfordoutdoor.org.
Weather can change quickly in the mountains. Always tuck rain gear into your backpack and bring along layers of clothes.
