Through the Find Your Fourteener campaign the NFF is partnering with Colorado outdoor stewardship groups and the U.S. Forest Service so that together we can do more on our majestic Fourteeners. We are working collaboratively to increase the pace and scale of trail improvements and ecological restoration. Our vision is to work together to build and maintain a sustainable trails network, ensuring these peaks remain healthy and inviting for decades to come. With help from skilled, passionate volunteers like you, we can complete even more on-the-ground work on Colorado’s Fourteeners.
See below for standing volunteer opportunities through our partners and other organizations.

From car-camping in the northeast, to hike-in wilderness areas; from forest fire look-out tower to grand lodges near the northern border, there is no shortage of options to choose from.
