Mission & Values

Mission

The Friends of Holliston Trails are connectors. Our trail connects people to different neighborhoods and even to other towns. Our organization helps to connect residents to each other.

We maintain a safe, multi-purpose trail, bring the community together by hosting family-friendly events on the trail, and support a healthful community with open space to honor fitness goals.

And yes, we fundraise. All fundraising is allocated directly toward safety improvements and amenities on the trail, as well as driving awareness of the trail through community engagement. With the trail now complete, our primary focus is to educate the community on how they can help create a trail system where everyone feels welcome and safe.

We collaborate with other groups in town by financially supporting some of the needs of the Holliston Trails Committee, and sharing our open space with other like-minded organizations for their fundraising activities.

Values

Our volunteers are passionate about the trail and have a shared value system that will resonate with many residents.

  1. Awareness: Our volunteers help foster awareness and appreciation of the trail.

  2. Health: Whether you are motivating your family to spend more time outside or working on your personal couch-to-5K program, think of the trail as a tool to improve your overall health.

  3. Community: We host two anchor events to bring the community together—our Annual Trail Run in the Spring and our First Night Trail Walk.
