FAQs About Volunteering
Who Can Volunteer?
All current Center members are eligible to volunteer. Because of the nature of our work, you must be in adequate physical condition to do fairly strenuous work outdoors. |
Do You Have Volunteer Opportunities for Children?
Not normally. Motivated middle and high school students may qualify to work as volunteers. Please contact the Center's Programs Manager for more information. |
What Kinds of Volunteer Jobs are Available?
Field volunteer jobs include excavation, survey, and mapping projects. We can also connect you with the Arizona Site Stewards, a volunteer program to monitor threatened archaeological sites throughout Arizona. Office volunteer jobs include library research, artifact processing, general office work, outreach, and fundraising. Because volunteers are an integral part of our research teams, many volunteer positions require that you are able to commit to working for a specific, scheduled amount of time. |
When Can I Start Work as a Volunteer?
The availability of volunteer positions at the Center is variable. Each project has its unique volunteer crew requirements. When a new project is beginning, the Project Director reviews the volunteer applications of all current members who match a project's needs, and assembles a crew that reflects a mixture of experience levels. New applicants will be considered for positions as they become available. |
What About Training?
You will be provided with any training and supervision necessary in order to insure that your volunteer experience is a positive one. Depending upon the project and your prior experience, you may be asked to attend an orientation and training session before beginning work. |
