Talk to a GMC Volunteer Coordinator

GMC’s Lorne Currier oversees most volunteer onboarding, training, and project management. After receiving your application, Lorne will connect with you via email and schedule a time to discuss your interest. For certain volunteer roles, like corridor monitoring and trail stewards, another GMC staff member will be in touch.

Orientation and Training

Various volunteer trainings are required before hitting the trail, so that we can ensure quality and consistency across the trail system. For trail and shelter adopters, you will learn about common trail and hiker issues and the techniques we use to mitigate them. Information Volunteers will learn about area trails, hiking guidelines, and alpine plant identification and stewardship. Your participation in training is critical to ensure successful volunteer work.

Volunteer Reporting

Volunteers are the eyes and ears on the ground of the trail system. We rely on your thorough and timely reports to ensure we are aware of trail issues, and to track progress along the system. Volunteer hours are also required for many funding opportunities. Find your reporting form here.
