Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument
Volunteer

National Park Service volunteers at Gila Clif Dwellings National Monument are essential, active, and valued members of the park staff. They serve visitor and park needs every day. Volunteers are needed year round.

Our volunteer staff works giving guided programs at the cliff dwellings, assisting visitors through sharing area and monument information, staffing the Gila Visitor Center and bookstore, and performing maintenance projects. There are no campground host positions at the monument.

Volunteers are asked to make a minimum commitment of three or four months, 32 hours per week. The monument provides training and basic housing if required - private dorm rooms with shared bathrooms or RV pads with full hookups.

For more information regarding Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument volunteer program, please contact the Volunteer Coordinator at 575-536-9461 or gicl_information@nps.gov.

Cliff Dwelling Wood

Did You Know?
Most of the wood seen in the Gila Cliff Dwellings today is original! Thirty-one core samples were taken from the wood. Dendrochronology (tree ring dating) indicates that the trees for the Cliff Dwellings were cut down from 1276 to 1287.
