Climber Steward - Fall/Winter 2022-23

Save to Favorites

Climber Stewards play valuable roles in Joshua Tree's climbing management team, serving as liaisons between climbers and park staff. They conduct climbing patrols, host weekend climber coffee, and collect climbing data.

Stewards work 32 hours per week and can be reimbursed for up to $100/week of living expenses. Stewards will be given a campsite in Hidden Valley Campground for the duration of their volunteer service. This does not count towards your 14-day camping limit. Length of service will be approximately 10 weeks. 4 positions available October 2022 - January 2023 and 4 positions available January 2023 - April 2023.
