Volunteer and help
Build Trails for Our Future
Whether you have an afternoon to help build trails, are willing to help lead a task, would like to serve on the Board of Directors or just have a few hours a month to contribute, we can use your help. We need your help to plan, build and maintain trails; to plan and organize trail events; to raise funds to support our trail systems; to write news articles, coordinate volunteers, and to support communications like our web page or Facebook, or grant writing.

A robust NKTA volunteer list will:
-
Demonstrate the ongoing support of our community and citizens
-
Provide the manpower necessary to complete our vision
-
Be invaluable when pursuing grants and outside funding
