City to Summit - Youth and Family Volunteer Opportunity

Are you part of or know a youth volunteer group who wants to participate in a customized day of service and recreation at a national park? Youth and their families are welcome to join Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park - Seattle for an opportunity to volunteer and explore one of Washington’s national parks with the City to Summit Program. Through partnerships with Discover Your Northwest, Washington Trails Association, and YMCA Bold & Gold, the City to Summit Program has opportunities available to receive free transportation and borrow head-to-toe gear. Please email Community Engagement Coordinator Megan Young at this e-mail for more info!

A special thanks to City to Summit’s 2019 volunteer groups: Mount Tahoma High School’s Deaf T-Birds Club, Tacoma Urban League’s Sisterhood in the City, and Outdoor Asian! Together, groups contributed over 1,400 volunteer hours at Mount Rainier National Park and Olympic National Park.

City to Summit is made possible through some great partnerships! The Washington Trails Association provides volunteers with loaner gear and the YMCA Bold & Gold provides transportation to the national parks.
