Organ Pipe Volunteers Joyce and Dick Craig
Volunteering at Organ Pipe
Each year over 100 volunteers contribute tens of thousands hours of service to Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument. Some service groups come for a few days, other volunteers stay for months. Some are students, others are retirees looking for adventure during their "golden years." Some maintain and/or patrol trails while others work as campground hosts or as visitor center personnel. But regardless of age or background, these folks share a desire to make a positive contribution to the preservation and management of Organ Pipe Cactus.
While we have far more applicants than positions, we are always looking for enthusiastic and energetic people. Competition for positions is highest during the winter months. Volunteers generally work two to three months, depending on the nature of work to be performed and the monument's needs. The monument may provide recreational vehicle campsites with hook-ups. Stipends are not available.
