Looking to get more involved in the future of your local trails? Become a Super Volunteer!
Super Volunteers are just that, super. They volunteer their time working directly with our professional crew to learn trail build techniques and improve skills. They help shape the trails that are in their backyard, along with learning the expertise to lead volunteers at Trail Daze events. Without Super Volunteers, we couldn’t create and maintain all of the great trail that we do.
SBTS is grateful for the time and energy Super Volunteers give to our nonprofit organization. We express our gratitude to our Super Volunteers with a step, benefit-incentive program depending on the amount of days spent helping with the trails. Benefits can include SBTS swag, discounts at Yuba Expeditions, and other perks while being an integral part of the SBTS team.
Signing-up to be a Super Volunteer is easy! Send us a note to info@sierratrails.org to find out where Henry and our professional crew are working and need help. We’ll get you hooked-up and out on the trail learning from one of the best trail crews in the nation.
Whether you are new to trails or a seasoned pro, we’ll teach you and put you to work learning new, valuable skills.
…a trail so perfectly flowing that it leaves no question that it was purpose-built for those who worship at the church of shred.

Benefits for Super Volunteers:
