Trailhead Experience

Start planning for Trailhead 2024!

The Trailhead Experience prepares incoming first-year and transfer students to become community-engaged leaders during their time at Appalachian State. Hosted by the Community-Engaged Leadership office in conjunction with Orientation, Trailhead helps students create meaningful connections and build community at Appalachian State and beyond!

We are making some exciting changes for Trailhead 2024! 

Our team is planning an immersive week of service and leadership experiences for Trailhead 2024. Led by current students, Trailhead participants will have the opportunity to engage in meaningful, community-driven service opportunities, to reflect on what it means to be a leader, and to make lasting connections with their peers.
