I recently did an incredible volunteer trail building project with a great group called Volunteers for Outdoor California (VOCAL). They are incredibly well organized and do trailbuilding and maintenance projects all over the SF Bay Area. They're different from other organizations in terms of how well they treat their volunteers: they almost always coordinate camping for the night following the first day of a project, and provide great meals, coffee, snacks, sunshowers, etc. A recent project I heard about had smoked tri-tip for dinner, as well as on-site massages! I worked extremely hard for a full day and still felt spoiled. The volunteers and the crew were without fail enthusiastic, friendly, and welcoming - I met some great people, and will be working with them again as soon as I can. Visit their website and see if you can help - I promise they are a well organized and inspired group that deserves it!
