Volunteers in Mission

Save to Favorites

Looking for a meaningful way to spend your retirement, to share the camaraderie of a multi-cultural environment? Or are you looking to serve others regardless of your age and status? This is your opportunity! Menaul School is open to volunteers of all ages.

Volunteers undertake many responsibilities and generally work a 7/8 hour day for a minimum of three months, longer if possible, in positions that strengthen the school community. School administration understands that many volunteers who come to the Menaul School are exploring a new state with a fascinating mix of cultures and history, and are open to an occasional day off to attend a pueblo feast day or other special event. Volunteers who come to Menaul are appreciated every minute of every day!

Most volunteers reside on campus in Teacher’s Hall, although you may prefer to rent an apartment or live in your RV. Hook-ups and use of toilet/shower facilities can be arranged. Teacher’s Hall, one of the original school buildings built in 1920, provides comfortable accommodations for married couples and singles. You will be assigned a private room and bath and have access to a communal living area, two kitchens for preparing meals in evenings and on weekends, and laundry facilities. There are puzzles, games and a TV/DVD for your pleasure, as well as wireless internet access. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner is provided in our refectory while school is in session.

Volunteers are encouraged to participate in extracurricular campus life, attend church services, and join in special school traditions as their energy and abilities allow.

One of the most important qualities for a volunteer is flexibility with a spirit of service - a willingness to step-up when needed, adapting to our Menaul and New Mexico lifestyle, which may be different than your accustomed lifestyle. During their time on campus, volunteers serve Menaul as necessary, placing personal agendas on hold. That being said, volunteer work at Menaul School can be one of the most significant and rewarding experiences of your lifetime!
