Trail Builder/Educator
Started with the Trail Conference in 2012. Originally from Michigan, Ama received a bachelor’s degree from Grand Valley State University in nonprofit administration. It was at GVSU and a student organization called Alternative Breaks that she found her love for environmental stewardship, trail building, and service learning. Since then, she has participated in and led trail maintenance and construction crews run by nonprofit organizations all over the country from Georgia to Tennessee to Washington to Colorado to Arizona to New Mexico to California to Maine to Pennsylvania and now to New York and New Jersey. “I am excited to put down some roots with the New York-New Jersey Trail Conference and help in continuing the growth of the Conference’s culture of volunteer learning and trail building/maintenance excellence.”
