WHAT CAN I DO?

There are many roles to play, depending on your skills and interests. Some people love being greeters at the Welcome Center or the Museums, while others enjoy the meditative work of folding sheets in Housekeeping or cleaning tables in the Dining Hall. If you can build and repair things, we have plenty of projects. If you love being outside, the Ranch’s gardens and landscaping would benefit from your help.

WHAT ARE MY HOURS?

Volunteers generally give 32 hours of service per week in exchange for housing and meals. Volunteers get two days off per week, but not necessarily weekends.

Local volunteers could serve daily, weekly or monthly and will determine a schedule with the volunteer coordinator. For special events, volunteers will be scheduled as needed.

WHERE DO I LIVE?
Volunteers stay in guest rooms with shared bathrooms or in a shared house on the Ranch. Because our volunteer housing capacity is limited, we love it when volunteers bring their own camper or RV; they get full use of the Campground Bathhouse. Volunteers eat meals in the Dining Hall. Please note that no pets are allowed, except for campground volunteers who can leave their pet safely unattended in a camper or RV.
