Volunteer Opportunities >>
"...a middle-level education should include as many exploratory
experiences as possible. Trekkers certainly supplies that opportunity
with hiking, spelunking, canoeing, and other safe risk-taking
activities. And, of course, the best part of Trekkers is the
long-lasting relationships that form among the members of all ages.
These connections provide a solid foundation from which a young person
can grow into adulthood and a safety net for when times are tough. I
hope we always have this program available to our community's kids."
