Opportunity Details

Throughout the year, Trails hosts a number of fundraising events and initiatives to help raise much-needed funds for our Four Seasons, Four Years, For Life program and and bring awareness to our community about the work we are doing to help vulnerable youth.

We'd love your help! Perhaps you would like to create your own Third-Party Event on behalf of Trails to rally your friends and family to provide hope to our kids. Or you'd like to help with marketing and promoting one of our upcoming events or campaigns to those in your network. And we can always use volunteers when it comes to our in-person events to ensure all the details are looked after.

In whatever capacity you would like to volunteer with Trails Fundraising Events, we hope you will connect with us to get started!
