Volunteer With Us!

Show Nevada's Parks and Trails Love

Volunteers who give their service to our community's parks and trails are the heart of our organization.  They help keep Nevada’s urban trails, community landscapes and local parks beautiful and our volunteer programs active.  More importantly, they share their skills, contribute their time, and enhance our lives.

Your service through volunteer time always makes a difference.

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, and in consideration of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and State of Nevada guidance, Get Outdoors Nevada is limiting the size and duration of in-person volunteer and educational service events.  We are following health and safety recommendations by the CDC and the Governor’s office.

Please watch this space for updated information.  Please take care, stay healthy, and Get Outdoors!
