Get involved by volunteering with Tahoe Donner!

This summer Tahoe Donner rolled out a volunteer program which provides members an opportunity to get involved in the Tahoe Donner and Truckee/Tahoe Community. You can get involved and get first-hand experience in providing recreational opportunities and benefits to amenities through various opportunities including event preparation and crew participation, club related volunteer events/activities, and leadership of other volunteers.

We had a great turnout for the June Trails Day which participants helped improve the Hillside/St. Moritz trail and cleaned up the Nature Loop, as well as for the Fourth of July parade float construction and participation where we won “Best in Show.”

How you can get involved:

Request to be on the Tahoe Donner Volunteer Group. Individuals, families or groups on this list will be contacted for every volunteer opportunity. Tahoe Donner Volunteer Group enrollment requests are made directly to Annie Rosenfeld, Director of Facilities and Risk Management at arosenfeld@tahoedonner.com.

Request to be on a specific event volunteer list. Individuals, families or groups can request to be on a specific event volunteer crew. Specific TDA Management contact will be given for each event for members to contact and enroll for volunteer activities.

Get involved with a Tahoe Donner chartered club.  Many of the chartered clubs have active volunteer programs which directly benefit their “home” amenity.
