Thank You for Lifting Someone Up
We've received your volunteer spotlight nomination. The people who give their time to the Continental Divide Trail deserve to be celebrated — and thanks to you, they will be.
What Happens Next
Here's how the nomination process works from here.
We Review Your Nomination
Our team reads every submission. We're looking for stories that capture the spirit of CDT volunteerism — the dedication, the community, and the love for the trail that drives it all.
We May Reach Out
If your nominee is selected for a spotlight, we may contact you or the volunteer for a brief follow-up — an extra detail or two, a quote, or a photo to bring the feature to life.
The Spotlight Goes Live
Selected volunteers are featured in Waypoints, our volunteer newsletter. We'll let you know if and when your nominee's spotlight is published so you can share the moment together.
