Current Volunteer Opportunities:

  • Summer Clubs Mentor

    • Our summer mountain bike, climbing and trail running clubs allow middle and high school participants to dive deeper into into the outdoor activities that interest them. Clubs meet weekly (schedules vary) and rely on volunteer mentors to bike, climb, or run with participants.

    • Previous winter volunteers are prioritized for summer opportunities as we do not have as many openings during the summer.

  • Gear Maintenance and/or organization

    • Are you a pro at fixing Whisperlite stoves? Or tuning mountain bikes? If you have any specialized gear maintenance skills, we would love your help in maintaining our awesome gear library throughout the year.

    • Do you love organizing? We have a program space full of gear, clothing, art supplies ect. and hundreds of participants that use this space weekly for programming. We would love your help in keeping our space organized so that we can use it as efficiently as possible.

  • If you have other skills or interests that you think could benefit our programs, please fill out an application and we will be in touch.

Winter Volunteer Opportunities:

Our winter program is finished for the 23/24 season. Thank you to all who made it a success!

RETURNING VOLUNTEERS, please DO NOT fill out this application.

Coombs Club Volunteer Ski Mentor

  • Our Coombs Club Program is a way for our middle and high school participants to have fun skiing at JHMR or Snow King in peer groups with volunteer mentors. Participants learn skills about how to navigate the mountain on their own and improve their technique but most of all, foster a love of skiing and the outdoors with positive role models.

  • Volunteers ski with their participant groups on either Saturdays or Sundays throughout the winter season. Pass perks available depending on volunteer commitment.
