Volunteer with us!

Volunteers ~ Our Unsung Heroes

We are always looking for motivated individuals, families, and groups that wish to be more involved with our organization! Volunteers are a key component to our success. Needs vary by the season, we usually offer winter hut caretaking training in the fall, winter overnight caretaking and volunteering in winter, and trail work and wood stacking in the summer.

Upcoming Summer Volunteer Opportunities

8/30 - 9/1: Xterra Trail Run World Championship

• Help at our expo booth up at Sugarloaf Mountain! Shifts available Friday 2-5pm, Saturday 9-5pm, and Sunday 8-5pm. Answer questions and provide information on Maine Huts to visiting runners. Be in the middle of all the action!
• Join us at Stratton Brook Hut for the marathon aid station on Sunday, September 1st. Cheer on the runners and provide water, snacks, and moral support from approximately 9am to 2pm (exact times TBD).

Summer through early November: Firewood stacking

• Perfect teamworking event for groups! Stay at a hut on an unbooked night and help us stack the 12 cords of wood each hut uses for the winter season. 

Winter Volunteer Opportunities

Winter caretaking at the huts on self-service days: Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesdays

What is winter caretaking? Our volunteers stay at the huts on self-service days and help fuel our wood-fired heating system, clean common areas, answer self-service guest questions, and support our hut staff on their days off. At least one hut staff will always be present for support. Enjoy a cozy stay in the snowy backcountry, and support our organization at the same time!

Opportunities to volunteer with the organization include:

• Winter hut caretaking
• Weekend and holiday guest welcoming at the huts
• Trail ambassadors
• Firewood stacking
• Trail maintenance
• Special event help, and more!
