Optional activities are self-paced ways to earn project hours and stipends. This page keeps you updated on available activities and your progress. All optional hours are totaled and added to the TRAILS Hourglass at the end of the project year (August 2026), so they won’t appear there until then. In the meantime, click the link below to track your progress. You may only earn up to 24 optional activity hours.
Earn your TRAILS professional development hours the Colonial way—by joining these engaging, free, live workshops from The Bob and Marion Wilson Teacher Institute! Register for each event below, attend, and receive a certificate to email to Dr. Rebecca Roach at Rebecca.Roach@uswep.org . Your hours will be credited as “Optional Activities” at the end of the project year. Check the project invoice for stipend details.
