The Crew Leader Training Program is a self-guided online course developed by American Hiking Society, designed to train new and experienced volunteer trail crew leaders in the fundamentals of leading trail service projects. This training specifically focuses on equipping trail crew leaders with the skills and experience to create a safe, welcoming and encouraging experience for volunteers of all backgrounds and skill levels, and covers both front and back country projects for 1-7+ days in length.<\/p>\n

This course draws on over 50 years of experience organizing and leading Volunteer Vacations on public lands across the U.S. This training is now available to individuals, and organizations outside AHS who want to bring professional-level structure, inclusion and safety to their volunteer trail maintenance and building projects.<\/p>\n

Whether you’re a trail crew volunteer, experienced trail crew leader, or just passionate about engaging volunteers in trail stewardship, this training helps you lead with confidence and make a difference in including everybody in trail building and maintenance.<\/p>\n\t\t
