Volunteer Rewards

Central Oregon Trail Alliance (COTA) has a program to reward, and say thank you, to our most committed volunteers! In the chart below, you'll find different rewards for different hours logged milestones. The more hours you log, the better the rewards you could receive!

How Does it Work?

  • COTA keeps track of logged volunteer hours for each season, which runs from October 1st - September 30th every year.

  • Once we have a completed list of all volunteer hours for the year, we will send you an email mid October to tell you what category of reward you fall under.

  • Once you receive this email, you'll have two weeks to fill out a Google form to let us know which rewards you want!

  • The rewards will be handed out during chapter meetings the following February.

Hour Marks to Reach:
16: Northwest Forest Pass
25: COTA store item or small bike related items valued $30 to $50
50: COTA jersey or medium bike related items valued $40 to $90
75: Trail boss tool head or bike related items valued $80 to $150
125: Trail boss 3 piece handle or Bike/work helmet valued $120 to $230
200: Trail boss handles w/ 1 head or trail builder pack valued $250 to $350 and National Parks Pass!
