Helping build, maintain or promote the Ozark Trail is a rewarding experience-- you have the satisfaction of working on a wonderful trail, and you make new friends in the process. Ways you can help include coming to Mega Events and other outings, or adopting a portion of the trail in the Adopt-A-Trail Program. Consider serving on a committee or simply making a donation toward developing the Ozark Trail. Click the links above to find out more about opportunities to get involved and to learn how we recognize our great volunteers. To learn about upcoming events and to register, visit our events page.

Tools, maps, publications and this website are funded through donations. For as little as $35 a year ($20 for students) you can become an OTA member. For more information and to sign up, see Membership.
