Montour Trail is maintained by people like you: volunteers!

At age 30+, we are still a volunteer organization, with only one paid staff member. Volunteers remain central to every aspect of the trail and its operation, so we welcome assistance from persons willing to share their talents.

What skills do you think you could contribute? Think of the MTC as a business. It takes an incredibly diverse set of skills to make the trail what it is and will become.

Here are the kinds of skill sets that we can put to great use:

  • accounting
  • archiving
  • bookkeeping
  • communications
  • community outreach
  • CRM software
  • engineering
  • event planning
  • finance
  • fundraising
  • GIS specialist
  • government relations
  • grant writing
  • human resources
  • insurance
  • land conservation
  • legal
  • marketing
  • membership campaigns
  • neighbor relations
  • networking
  • newsletter publishing
  • office management
  • photography
  • public relations
  • real estate
  • social media planning
  • strategic planning
  • safety
  • trail maintenance
  • trail patrol
  • volunteer coordination
  • web writing & maintenance
  • Zoho software

MTC Needs You!

Our volunteer-led organization is seeking individuals interested in exploring two different volunteer roles with the Real Estate committee.  

  • Contribute to the management of real estate affairs, including efforts to identify and secure ownership of land along the trail corridor via purchase, donation, or conservation easement. Those with a background in real estate law and sales are welcome, but experience is not a prerequisite.
  • Join our Trail conservation efforts, including but not limited to landscape beautification, reforestation, and identification and protection of native and threatened habitats.

If you are interested, send an email to volunteer@montourtrail.org, and we will gladly arrange a follow-up telephone call.

Find Your Perfect Spot

  • Send a quick email to volunteer@montourtrail.org with your name, email address, phone number, and general areas of volunteer interest. Someone will get back to you as quickly as possible!
  • Review our newsletter for what’s going on.
  • Check out one of the Friends groups near you.
  • Look for volunteer posts on the Facebook Enthusiasts group, an unaffiliated forum of Montour Trail users who regularly post their observations, opinions, and news from MTC.

You Can Make the Difference

Montour Trail Council continues to thrive because of its committees and groups for engineering & construction, technology, membership, community outreach, fund raising, trail security, maintenance, and more, so we need people with all sorts of skills and interests.

From time to time, we call on anyone interested to volunteer at special events that help us promote awareness, increase membership and raise funds. We also host weekend trailside activities that engage users on their regular outings. People with links to neighborhood, civic, and business organizations can help Montour better tie into its communities.

We encourage (and salute) local businesses to stage “corporate work parties,” where volunteers perform clean-up or build replacement structures, sometimes in conjunction with Earth Day, National Trail Day or Make a Difference Day observances. (The annual Make A Difference Day in late October is a great way for individuals/groups to give something back to their communities. If you want to participate, pick an area and fix it! It’s not just a great way to give back, it’s an opportunity for all of us to improve our communities.)

Many corporations donate supplies for annual events — even property for rights-of-way and plants to fill our flower boxes.

We offer opportunities to Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts and Eagle Scouts (email scouts@montourtrail.org) to earn merit badges by building Trail-side benches. The Montour Railroad Historical Society, one of our Friends groups, builds, erects and restores historical RR signs and mileposts (email mrhs@montourrr.com).
