2026-27 Service Program Application

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.
 
If interested in applying, please fill the application below.
