Philadelphia Trail Ambassador Positions Opening
Happy Spring!
We wanted to share a few exciting opportunities to share your love for our city’s beloved trails.
- APPLY! Philadelphia Trail Ambassador application (open through Tuesday, March 31):
Philadelphia Trail Ambassadors are passionate about Philadelphia, their communities, and connecting people to community resources, such as trails. They will serve as trusted listeners and messengers between their communities and the City. With support and guidance from City staff, Philadelphia Trail Ambassadors will share the benefits of trails with their communities and help the City understand how trails can better serve community needs.
Ambassadors will receive training, organize or co-host community events, and gather feedback to inform the Trail Master Plan. They will receive a $600 stipend for this work.
Stipends will be distributed in quarterly installments at a rate of about $50 per hour. In addition to building leadership and teamwork skills while spending time outdoors, Philadelphia Trail Ambassadors will have real opportunities to influence priorities, messaging, and recommendations in the Trail Master Plan. Selected applicants will be notified by May 1 and expected to attend a paid in-person training session with details to be announced.

Have a great week!
