JOSAR is recruiting new volunteer members. No prior training or experience is required.

You may participate as a rescue member, field searcher or in a support capacity for team operations and logistics.

If you enjoy teamwork, helping others and the beauty of Joshua Tree National Park, there will be a brief, informational meeting January 12, 2018 at 7pm in the park’s Black Rock Visitor Center, 9800 Black Rock Canyon, Yucca Valley, CA 92284.  We will discuss the many opportunities, requirements and time commitment for each level of participation.
