WE NEED YOU!

VOLUNTEER WITH THE 4WDABC

We’re always looking for volunteers! Learn more about how you can help out at the 4WDABC.

Boots on the ground.

It’s the people making up the 4WDABC who get things done, and every one of us, including your Board of Directors, are unpaid volunteers, doing this work out of love of BC’s backcountry, our 4x4s, and our members. But we can’t do it alone! It takes the time, sweat, and passion of members across the province to do the work that we do.

There are many different ways you can get involved with us at the 4WDABC.

On this page you will find our typical volunteer positions, code of conduct, sign-up form, and reporting form!

If you want to work with us, please complete the first form below and a member of our team will be in touch to follow up. If you HAVE helped out, please complete the second form to help us quantify all the work our members put into this cause.

 

Don’t have the time to Volunteer, but still want to help out?

  • RESPONSIBLE: Live the Four Wheeler’s Code of Ethics
  • DEPENDABLE: Follow through on our word.
  • Don’t pick fights, either in person or online. We can present our view, argue our beliefs, express our opinions without attacking an individual. We lose respect as soon as we react in kind to an online attack, and not just of this one attacker but of the many others who read and do not write.

One of the goals of the Four Wheel Drive Association of BC is to represent ALL WHEELERS, not just some. We are to promote mud bogging by advocating by designated areas to do so in areas where it is already a popular activity. We are to promote rock crawling by advocating designated rock crawling areas where the activity is already popular. We are to promote access to trails and trail systems for our day trippers and our adventure wheelers or overlanders.

No one gets left behind is a good motto.

We are not an exclusive entity, rather, we are fully inclusive of the entire wheeling community and we need to be responsive to all of these needs.

WE NEED YOU!

REPORT YOUR VOLUNTEER EFFORTS

It’s all about the numbers: the government bodies and stakeholders we work with need to know how much good we as an organization, through our many volunteers, are doing across BC. When it comes time to renew contracts or to demonstrate our impact in the backcountry, this information can be crucial. Please take the time to track your contributions as a 4WDABC volunteer so we can tabulate the numbers.
