Have you ever wanted to work in a national park or monument? Interested in meeting people from around the world? Each year, volunteers collectively contribute thousands of hours to Aztec Ruins National Monument through the Volunteers In Parks program.

Aztec Ruins is looking for local community volunteers to lend their time, as well as volunteers to live in our RV site for 2-3 months.

Volunteers-In-Parks (VIPs) can benefit the park and gain experience for themselves in a wide variety of ways depending on their background and interests. Volunteers in the Division of Interpretation and Education assist with visitor services by helping to orient visitors, answer visitor questions, rove trails, assist with special events and education programs, and, if interested, set up touch tables or conduct interpretive programs. VIPs may also work for the maintenance, cultural resources, natural resources, or administration divisions.

Interested in helping out? Physical applications are available at the park visitor center or you can apply online.
