Last call for returning volunteers!

This year we have a series of special 2-week projects open to experienced volunteers who have worked with us before. Before we close applications for this season, we wanted to make a last call for participants…

The projects follow our regular 2-week placement format but are particularly challenging because of their timing (early or late season) or location.

Sign making and mapping (08/05 – 21/05)
Long-range trail team (10/07 – 23/07)
GPS data gathering and trail mapping (28/08 – 10/09)

These placements are open to any volunteers who have worked with us before. If you are interested in joining us again or finding out more about the projects, please get in touch; thorsmork@trailteam.is

The final deadline for applications in April 23rd so don’t delay!

Pre-departure meetings for our team

Tomorrow’s application deadline will be followed by a final round of interviews and placement allocations in February. Once these are completed, our attention will turn to preparing the team and organising the summer projects.

This season, we will invite all new participants to pre-departure Skype meetings that will take place 4-6 weeks before the placements start. These meetings are an opportunity to discuss travel plans and equipment as well as any other details. They will help to answer any last minute questions and ensure that all participants are prepared for their visit, and ready for their adventures in Thórsmörk.

Applications remain open throughout January 31st – Full placement details and application forms

Volunteer application update… Places filling fast!

Thank you to everyone who has been in contact about placements with us in Thórsmörk next season.

Here at Trailteam headquarters, we are now busy working through all the applications that have reached us in the last few days. It is a difficult task, and in order to talk to as many people as possible we have added two extra days to the first round of interviews, so that they will now cover 29th and 30th December as well as the planned 2nd January.

With so many applications arriving each day, we recommend that if you are thinking of joining us – don’t delay sending your application. The closing date for all applications is January 31st but we will begin allocating places on January 2nd.

Best Christmas wishes to all!
