Meet & Give Back in South Lake Tahoe
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Activities for Meeting Groups
From picturesque mountain views to the crystal-clear waters of the largest and most beautiful alpine lake in North America, Lake Tahoe offers meeting groups more than just a place to gather. It’s also a destination where your attendees can make a positive difference on the world around them. Meet with purpose in our welcoming destination by adding these impactful corporate social responsibility (CSR) opportunities to your conference or event agenda.
Tahoe Rim Trail
What better way to inspire teamwork than by rolling up your sleeves to help maintain the Tahoe Rim Trail? The Tahoe Rim Trail Association is always looking for volunteers to assist in preserving this 165-mile nature path, which loops around Lake Tahoe for both visitors and locals to enjoy. Your group can help the association through multiple CSR options.
Volunteer Activities
Trail Maintenance & Construction
Trail Guides for Groups
Cooking at Backcountry Camps
Event Assistance
Administrative Task Execution
Community Outreach
These volunteer opportunities will help preserve one of Lake Tahoe’s most beloved trails and provide your attendees with the chance to bond while working together in the great outdoors.
Tahoe Area Mountain Biking Association
If your meeting group is filled with biking enthusiasts, volunteer with the Tahoe Area Mountain Biking Association (TAMBA) to combine their passion with a hands-on way to support multi-purpose trails located throughout Lake Tahoe. From May through November, TAMBA hosts “Trail Days,” when your attendees can help with trail building and maintenance. These CSR efforts are an excellent way to be a part of something special while creating lasting memories.
Keep Tahoe Blue - League to Save Lake Tahoe
Lake Tahoe would not be the beautiful mountain lake it is today without the help of Keep Tahoe Blue’s League to Save Lake Tahoe. Here’s your group’s opportunity to contribute to its continued preservation as well as the natural landscapes nearby. This environmental organization offers different ways to get involved.
Get Involved
The rewards for lending helping hands to this eco-organization are twofold. Not only is it a great way to be a part of Lake Tahoe’s lasting legacy, but it also allows your group to enjoy the peaceful surroundings and foster camaraderie.
Keep Tahoe Blue - Beach Clean-Ups
Besides maintaining the serene waters of Lake Tahoe, Keep Tahoe Blue also keeps its surrounding shores pristine. To accomplish this, the organization hosts beach and community cleanups that focus on clearing away plastic litter, trash and other debris that pollute the area.
If you’re interested in your group getting involved, engage in one or more of these CSR initiatives.
Ways to Help Keep Tahoe Blue
Combat Pollution on Your Own
Attendees can download the free Citizen Science Tahoe app to report litter they find and its location before disposing of it. Data from the app is then used to advocate policy changes in Lake Tahoe.
Join a Cleanup Event
Groups can sign up for beach and community cleanups that are held throughout the year.
Form a Tahoe Blue Crew
While meeting here, your attendees can form a Tahoe Blue Crew to adopt and care for a special area of our alpine destination.
