Volunteer Programs

As a member-directed organization, the Adirondack Mountain Club relies on the skills, hard work and commitment of volunteers to accomplish its mission. These programs offer numerous opportunities to get involved and make a difference. Volunteer applications are available here.

Volunteer Trails Program Trail volunteers

ADK's volunteer trail projects offer hikers a unique opportunity to “give something back” to the trails that they use and love. Volunteers work with ADK trail crew leaders to complete trail maintenance and reconstruction projects all over the Adirondacks and Catskills. A schedule of 2010 volunteer trail projects is available here. (Read the latest Trails Program annual newsletter.)

Education Volunteer Opportunities at Heart Lake

Join the Education Department at the Adirondack Mountain Club this summer and fall for a rewarding experience turning on the public to the joys of the outdoors. The Education Department aims to enhance visitors experience on the property in ways that allow them to maximize their appreciation and understanding of the unique environment of the High Peaks and the fascinating human history of the “Finest Square Mile.” From little kids to elders, there is opportunity to present lasting memories for others and yourself by volunteering a day or longer as an education volunteer at ADK.
