Arches

Volunteer

Volunteers walk down a paved path, wearing orange vests that say "NPS VOLUNTEER" while carrying buckets and trash pickers.
Some volunteer groups pick up trash at parking lots and trails.

You can help care for your public lands in many ways. Leaving no trash or graffiti and obeying all park regulations are great ways to show your stewardship of Arches.

Official NPS Volunteers-In-Parks sign up to help with specific tasks. Some VIP positions need minimal training, while others require specialized skills. Housing for park volunteers is extremely limited.

If you are interested in serving in as an official park volunteer, check the list of opportunities below, or contact:

Volunteer Service Groups

If your scout troop, Alternative Spring Break group, or other organization would like to volunteer at Arches for a few hours, a day, or a week, contact the Volunteer Coordinator at least four weeks before your visit. Volunteers under the age of 18 need written permission from legal guardians in order to sign up as park volunteers.
