Long term volunteer positions provide the opportunity for individuals to give back to Lake Mead. You can truly explore all that Lake Mead National Recreation Area in Southern Nevada and Northwestern Arizona have to offer - some positions even provide the opportunity to stay in the park!

Long-term volunteers help support various disciplines in the park to complete priority work. Disciplines include maintenance, interpretation, education, cultural resources, wildlife, administration, visitor and resource protection, and vegetation! Depending on the type of position, hours may be flexible varying from as little as a few hours a week or month up to 32 hours a week. Some positions might even qualify for an RV site with full hookups.

Some opportunities include:

• Campground Host

• Resource Steward

• Campground Maintenance

• Boat Operator or Deckhand
