You’re part of Trails…
For Life
If you completed the Four Seasons, Four Years program, you are a Trails alum, and this space is for you. The Alumni Association is your way to stay connected to Trails, to each other, and to the community that supported you throughout your journey.
Trails’ commitment doesn’t end when the Four Seasons, Four Years program does. The Alumni Association exists to make sure the relationships, support, and opportunities you built at Trails continue for life.
Stay Connected:
Community that grows with you
The Alumni Association brings alumni together through events, shared experiences, and ongoing communication. Whether you’re looking to reconnect with old friends, meet other alumni at different life stages, or stay involved in the Trails community, there’s a place for you here. You’ll receive updates about:
- Alumni events and gatherings
- Opportunities to get involved or volunteer
- Resources and supports available to alumni
- Ways to stay connected to Trails as you move forward
Annual Alumni Event:
A chance to come together
Each year, Trails hosts a special alumni event that brings graduates back together. It’s a chance to reconnect, celebrate how far you’ve come, and spend time with people who understand your Trails experience. Alumni are also invited to attend the Trails Holiday Celebration every December.

Hurst Legacy Award
Each year, the Hurst Legacy Award recognizes a Trails alum who continues to live the Trails mission and embodies the values of leadership, community, and giving back. Alumni, staff, and community members are invited to nominate someone whose actions reflect the lasting impact of the Trails experience.
Nominations are accepted year-round, with decisions made by the Hurst Legacy Award Committee each March. To be considered for the current year, nominations must be submitted by February 28.
Get Involved in Your Own Way
Being part of the Alumni Association doesn’t look the same for everyone. Some alumni stay closely involved. Others check in when they need support or want to reconnect. Both are okay.
Trails alumni can contribute as:
- Volunteers (Mentors, Event Speakers, Board Members)
- Program Facilitators and staff
- Community Leaders
If you have ideas, questions, or just want to explore ways to stay connected, we’d love to hear from you.
