Volunteer

Do Something.  Change Everything.

At Trailnet, we accomplish our work of enabling communities to bike, walk and live through the help of many dedicated volunteers and others interested in promoting bicycle and pedestrian activities throughout the bi-state St. Louis area. You can become part of this vital work to enhance our community – for the benefit of all of us who live, work and play here – by becoming a Trailnet volunteer or answering the call to one of our advocacy alerts.

In 2009 and 2010 our volunteers logged over 3000 hours of service.  Volunteers provide a variety of services such as:

  • BIke Ride support
  • Rides and Events: registration, membership table, route marking, set-up, clean-up
  • Office rescue: mailings, filing, data entry, book keeping
  • Outreach and Advocacy: public speaking, phone calls, letter writing, other activities promoting the mission of Trailnet
  • Special Events: Eagle Days, Route 66 Festival, Clips of Faith
  • Revitalization: trail clean-up, restoration, gardening, trash clean-up
  • Research or professional skills: literature review, document new trails, photography, videography, IT
  • Community Outreach volunteer: support for Trailnet's community based events.

If you would like to help in any of these areas, call Carol at 314-436-1324 x103 or e-mail carol@trailnet.org.

Bicycle Fun Club Rides

Great volunteers assist before each ride by helping staff set up the tables, tents and refreshments, selling tickets, handing out maps and answering general questions. Volunteers ride free at the close of registration AND receive a free ride voucher for a regularly priced BFC ride of their choice!

If you would like to help out at one of Trailnet’s rides, call Carol at carol@trailnet.org.
