VOLUNTEER ACTIVITIES
-
Due to COVID-19 concerns, the IPWA board cancelled the 2020 new volunteer program, as well as group activities including Trail Maintenance Crews, Wilderness Information Specialist (WIS) office staffing, and Trailhead Host Days. If you are interested in becoming a new volunteer for the 2021 summer season, please Contact Us to be added to our mailing list for updates.

For Returning Volunteers: As always, and especially in the context of COVID-19, volunteering is 100% optional. There is NO pressure for you to volunteer this summer or winter season, as your health and safety come first. We respect whichever choice you make.

Please note: volunteering can be suspended at any time if pandemic conditions worsen. The U.S. Forest Service Boulder Ranger District (BRD), Boulder County Health Department and IPWA will be monitoring conditions continuously as we go forward.
