As mountain bikers, the trails are our playground.

The Teen Trail Corps program provides NICA student-athletes the opportunity to get involved in trail maintenance efforts and to use their voices to advocate for increased trail access.

As we continue to get more kids on bikes through our NICA teams, these teams quickly become visible users of local trail systems where other community members may recreate, including hikers and equestrians. Through trail maintenance and practicing Leave No Trace skills, NICA teams can showcase their commitment as stewards of the trails and begin building their reputation in their community.

In 2024, NICA community members spent about 61,476 hours giving back to their communities through Teen Trail Corps. That's more than the equivalent of a full-time staff person working for 15 years straight to achieve the same impact that our collective NICA community achieved in a single year!
