Be a Part of the Momentum
Volunteers help expand and improve our community's trail system and lead our organization's advocacy efforts. They help us with our quarterly trail work days, special projects, serving on committees, and the Ozark Greenways Board of Directors. Volunteers are also needed for the activities listed on our Events page.
Ozark Greenways committees include the Let's Go Smart: Transportation Collaborative, Technical Planning committee, and Friends of the Frisco. For committee descriptions and contact info, go to our Committees page.
Other Volunteer Opportunites
Eagle Projects: Ozark Greenways has partnered with Eagle Scouts on the planning and development of several projects surrounding our trail network, with each project being impactful to the community. We have a running list of possible projects incorporating all of the trails in our system, but are also open to collaboration on specific projects presenting by the Scout. Please contact the OG office at 501-4674 to make arrangements.
Community Service Hours: Any part of our Ozark Greenways Volunteer Program qualifies as community service hours. Please contact the OG office at 417-501-4674 to make arrangements.
Interested in working on your own? This opportunity is available for individuals, families, Eagle Scouts, and or groups/organizations of large sizes. We are fortunate to be able to partner with the City of Springfield with our Trash Collection Program. You or your group simply chooses a date, time, and trail. Ozark Greenways will provide trash bags and the City of Springfield's Environmental Services Department will handle the post clean-up collection of trash. Contact the OG office at 417-501-4674 to coordinate trash bag pick up. Post clean-up, text/email a photo to your prearranged point person and an exact location (trucks must be able to access) where the full trash bags are located.
