General Volunteer Programs

If you are interested in becoming a General Volunteer at The Living Desert, you must first complete a Volunteer Application to apply for volunteer service. All new volunteers must attend a one-time, 5-hour orientation followed by a one-on-one interview with the FOLD (Friends of The Living Desert) Volunteer Program Manager to discuss potential assignments. Orientation sessions are held 4 times per year. If accepted, all volunteers generally commit to assisting one 3-4 hour shift per week on a regular basis.
