Volunteer Hours

Participated in a volunteer event and need to submit your hours? Watch the tutorial below for a step-by-step guide on how to submit your hours.




Volunteers and their time are the foundation of the Arizona Trail so make sure to submit your volunteer hours. Please do so from your Engagement Dashboard. If you do not have an Engagement Dashboard yet, request one here.

Pro tip: Bookmark the link to your Engagement Dashboard so that you can quickly log future hours. If you lose it, you can always request a new one. After requesting a link, any previous links will no longer work.

Volunteers who track their time receive awards based on the number of logged hours. Learn more about our Volunteer Reward Program here.

If you’re looking for volunteer opportunities for groups and organizations you can look through the list of current opportunities on our Volunteer Events Page, or we can look at scheduling an opportunity specially tailored to your group. Just contact us at volunteer@aztrail.org.

We look forward to seeing you on (and off) the trail!
