Yosemite National Park, CA (2006)

Volunteers Mike & Jen Leonard and Rick & Marge Volpe will be at the REI Store in Bailey's Crossroads, Virginia from 7-8pm on April 25th to share their experiences "Giving Something Back" with Wilderness Volunteers. They'll cover the basics of what we do, how you can get involved on one of our 2012 projects, and what you can expect on a "volunteer vacation" in America's national parks, forests, and wilderness areas. For more information and to register for this free event, click here. All are welcome - invite your friends and family.

Interested in spreading the word at your local outdoor store? Just ask the store manager or outreach director. We'd love the help! And stay tuned to the blog and newsletter for information on presentation materials and some simple steps to pulling off a successful event.
