VOC Featured Leader: Ellen Urell

VOC regularly highlights different VOC leaders, in all capacities, so that we can share with you the inspiring work they do to care for Colorado's outdoors! Here, we'd like to recognize Ellen Urell.

Ellen discovered VOC on a community bulletin board at REI. After attending her first project in 2013, she was instantly hooked.

"VOC combines my enjoyment of the outdoors, volunteerism, and great people. Not much can be better than that," said Ellen. "I also love the fact that our projects provide immediate benefits for the entire community."

Fairly soon after she started volunteering, Ellen became interested in learning more about the process and science behind building trails. She contacted VOC about becoming a Team Lead so that she could hone her technical skills and further contribute on projects.

"Becoming a Team Lead has done just that, and so far it has been an amazing experience! I look forward to getting dirty on many more trails in the years to come," said Ellen.
