Grand Canyon Volunteers

Sponsored by:

Welcome to Grand Canyon Volunteers 2007! You’ll find everything you need at this website for opportunities to join us as a volunteer conservationist, helping us restore and protect the Colorado Plateau. Check out the Volunteer Trips section for details on tons of exciting opportunities locally and throughout the Colorado Plateau.

The lands that make up the Colorado Plateau are rich in ecology, endemic species, archeology and land use history. As a volunteer with Grand Canyon Trust you’ll have the chance to do on-the-ground work both in Grand Canyon National Park and across the Arizona Strip, work that protects and helps restore the Colorado Plateau’s treasures - our natural resources.

Volunteers
There are many different opportunities for a diverse level of abilities. Local day trips are available to work on issues that affect Flagstaff, giving us an opportunity to deal with issues that affect us at a community level. Volunteers can also participate in week-long and extended weekend trips, traveling to work sites in the North Kaibab National Forest, House Rock Valley, Paria Plateau, both the North Rim, South Rim and down into the Grand Canyon. All food and transportation is provided on our longer trips, along with the option to borrow camping gear. Indoor facilities are also available for specific projects. These hands-on projects offered by Grand Canyon Volunteers provide participants knowledge of place as well as important information regarding resource protection. In some cases, you will be able to learn directly from various scientists and researchers whose work is to study and protect these natural wonders. No matter where your interests lie, we think that you will find a volunteer project that will be both exciting and satisfying for you!

	The contribution of volunteer time is integral to the implementation of many of the projects that Grand Canyon Volunteers supports. Without the generous donation of time and effort our volunteers give, many of these projects would never be realized. In order to preserve these lands we rely on your help! If you think that you might be interested in involving yourself, your family, friends or other organizations in this important work, see our “trips” page to learn about projects needing volunteers in the coming weeks and months.
