What does it mean to be a Methow Trails ambassador?

Ambassadors represent Methow Trails at events, winter trailheads, and whenever they are out on the trails.  They need to be exceptionally knowledgeable about the trail system, trails-related issues, trail etiquette, and the Methow Trails priorities and policies.  Ambassadors interface with the public in a friendly, informative way and act as our eyes and ears in the community.
 
To join the Service Program, prospective applicants need to:
  • Be a full time Methow Valley resident 
  • Be 18 years or older 
  • Volunteer 20+ hours and commit to being involved for 3 years
  • Participate in an annual training to ensure they are a knowledgeable spokesperson and capable of acting as a leader
  • Be knowledgeable enough to encourage trail-user investment in our organization through trail pass sales (winter), educate the general public about our role in the community and have a firm understanding of on-trail conditions of use and etiquette.
We generally re-evaluate our program needs and fill new Service Program positions in the fall after Labor Day weekend. We will use this application to track potential candidates.
