Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado Map of Colorado

Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado (VOC) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to motivating and enabling citizens to be active stewards of Colorado's public lands. Since 1984 we have mobilized over 40,000 volunteers to work on outdoor projects in partnership with land management agencies and nonprofit groups. In these years we have completed 185 projects on public lands with an estimated value exceeding $9 million.

Several courses in trail building, maintenance, volunteer management and crew leadership are offered each year through the Outdoor Stewardship Institute.

Typical seminars include:

Trail Construction and Maintenance, Introduction to Trail Design, Rock Wall Construction, Rock Step Construction, Switchback Construction, Trail Closure and Revegetation, Leading Volunteer Crews, Working with Young Volunteers, Managing & Organizing Volunteer Projects.
