VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
OPPORTUNITIES TO HELP
Pass to Pass is an all-volunteer run non-profit charity. We rely on the generosity of people across the country that donate their time and energy to make our trips happen. From Board Members to Trail Angels, from Trip Leaders to technical support, our staff of volunteers is working hard to make Pass to Pass trips successful.

Boots On The Ground
If you are an experienced backpacker, physically fit, and would like to learn more about Trip Leader, Assistant Trip Leader, or Support Hiker opportunities please contact us for details. Our leaders are responsible for organizing their team, coordinating team transportation, and confirming hikers fitness and backpacking Knowledge prior to hitting the trail. Once on the trail a Trip Leader will be our point of contact for the entire trip and will see to the well being of the team. And that includes the llamas! A Team Leader is required to have served as an Assistant Trip Leader on at least one Pass to Pass trip. Assistant Trip Leaders will back up the Trip Leader in all tasks and should be prepared to lead the team if necessary. Support Hikers are usually associated (friend or family) with a PD Hiker, but not always.
