Introduction

Working on the Appalachian Trail (A.T.) involves inherent risk, but those risks can be minimized through planning, communication, training, and equipment. Each volunteer is responsible for their safety and others they work alongside.

Find opportunities to deepen your care of the A.T. through self-paced online trainings found on this page. The Appalachian Trail Conservancy (ATC) and A.T. Clubs offer additional certifications or trainings for Trail tasks.
