IMBA Local Member Organizations are member-based groups focused on trails, access, rides and social events on close-to-home trails. IMBA works with IMBA Local partners to support and enhance trail building, advocacy and organizational efforts.
IMBA’s vision is to build the quality and quantity of mountain biking communities by supporting and empowering local leadership. We want to help communities build a base of knowledgeable and capable advocates and stewards.
IMBA programs like Trail Accelerator Grant support professional trail planning, while Trail Workshops across the country are helping trail stewards and land managers protect trail investments, and IMBA’s Government Affairs team ensures mountain bikers are part of the national conversation. That’s just a glimpse at the broad, deep impact of today’s IMBA, and how IMBA's national support is available for every community – including yours.
How can you help? Support your nearest chapter, or more than one if you like – individuals can have up to 10 chapter memberships. It's an easy and rewarding way to support the team that knows your local trails.
