Upper Valley High School Trail Corps
The UV High School Trail Corps Program is an opportunity for high school students to spend time outdoors and learn about trail building in a sustainable way. Once accepted to the program, High school students can sign up to participate in one of the trail corps’ five weeks during July and August. Students will work Monday – Friday of their assigned week from 8:30 AM – 4:30 PM on trails throughout the Upper Valley. Participants will learn valuable trail building skills from UVTA’s staff members and will end the day with fun, outdoor adventures!
Compensation: credit for 40 hours of community service & weekly stipend of $125/week
