We welcome students who would like to learn about the High Sierra Volunteer Trail Crew and how we operate. You can be involved in planning, implementing and reporting on all aspects of trip operations as well as all of the normal issues that relate to operation of a non profit. A season with the High Sierra Volunteer Trail Crew is a great opportunity to see all aspects of a 501-C3 operation. Please contact us directly or have your faculty adviser (contact us) and we will get the process started.
