Work together to preserve and protect Yosemite.
Yosemite gives to us. It’s only natural to give back. For all that we gain from gazing at the scenery, walking the trails — volunteering to keep her beauty seems the right thing to do.
Yosemite Conservancy Donor and Work Week Crew Volunteer
Join a dedicated community of Yosemite enthusiasts as you work together to preserve and protect the park. Our elite work crews are led by National Park Service rangers, in cooperation with Yosemite Conservancy, to improve habitats and trails throughout the park.
Projects have varying fitness levels, often requiring physically demanding work. Crews of up to 20 volunteers share a group campsite and are provided with three hearty meals a day, as well as a commemorative T-shirt and hat. Participants generally work four days per week and are off on Friday. The focus of our work varies widely, so be sure to read through our 2020 schedule and project descriptions to find the best fit for you.
There is a $325 fee to help cover the cost of the program.
