Be A Friends Of The Wissahickon Trail Ambassador
|
|
The Friends of the Wissahickon are looking for volunteers to work as Trail Ambassadors in Wissahickon Valley Park. The application deadline is January 7. Trail Ambassadors are park volunteers who assist and educate people in the park with anything from directions to safety needs to park history, flora and fauna.

Ambassadors perform their service in the park and participate in ongoing education. They become experts in the Wissahickon and provide a valuable public service.
Trail Ambassadors share their knowledge by: interacting with and providing assistance to park users while walking the trails; staffing information tables at FOW volunteer days and events; leading walks in the Wissahickon Valley; and conducting surveys of park users and wildlife.
Training sessions will be held on Wednesday evenings from 6 to 8 p.m. from February 2 thru March 16. First Aid/CPR session will be held the morning of March 12. Applicants accepted into the program are required to pay a $100 registration fee, sign a one-time volunteer release form, and obtain their criminal background check and child-abuse clearance.
Ambassadors must be FOW members or willing to join the organization. The number of open positions is limited.
For more information, program requirements, and an online application form. Contact FOW Volunteer Coordinator Kevin Groves with questions by sending email to: groves@fow.org or call 215-247-0417 ext 105.
