Volunteer Opportunity: Help Wheelchair Users Explore Beaches and Trails with Freedom Trax
Join us in creating unforgettable outdoor experiences! With NatureTrack’s Freedom Trax-an innovative motorized off-road attachment for manual wheelchairs-wheelchair users can independently navigate beach sand and inland trails, enjoying the beauty of nature like never before.
As a volunteer, you’ll assist wheelchair users in attaching Freedom Trax to their chairs and accompany them on the beach or trail as needed. It’s a wonderful way to make a difference while enjoying the great outdoors yourself!
We also welcome wheelchair users as volunteers! Help others experience the joy of accessible adventures. As a NatureTrack volunteer, you can borrow a Trax anytime you want to join in. Prefer to simply explore the beach without volunteering? That’s okay, too-there’s no obligation.
Let’s make nature accessible for everyone. Join us today!

Description
We provide K-12 students, along with wheelchair users and others with physical disabilities of all ages, the opportunity to experience, explore, and learn from nature at no cost to schools or participants. Since our founding in 2011, more than 25,000 students have participated in NatureTrack field trips. Since launching our wheelchair program in 2021, more than 100 wheelchair users have enjoyed exploring our beautiful beaches and trails.
K-12 trips are fun, engaging for students, and meet school curriculum requirements, fulfilling NatureTrack’s mission of preparing students with the attitudes, leadership skills, and habits for lifelong learning and inspiring them to embrace our natural world with respect and wonderment.
