2025 Board Service: Annual Recruitment is Open!

TKO seeks volunteers to be our thought leaders and strategic visionaries, joining our Board of Directors to help guide our organization in the many ways we hope to protect and enhance Oregon’s hiking experience. We are eager to expand our representation geographically, and an ideal candidate will have lived experiences working with and representing diverse races, ages, genders, sexual orientations, abilities, and economic backgrounds.

Candidates can pursue leadership roles within the Board or focus their service toward TKO programming, or both, depending on interest and availability. Have questions about the TKO Board experience? Please feel free to reach out to Ginny Sorensen, TKO Board member and Assistant Crew Leader, at ginny.sorensen@trailkeepersoforegon.org.
