ORGANIZATION: National Park Service

Surrounded by red rock and vast expanses, Pipe Spring National Monument shares the stories of a reliable water source in the desert and the many different cultures who have utilized those waters for countless generations. Ranging from the Ancestral Puebloans, Kaibab Band of Paiute Indians, Spanish explorers, members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and the U.S. Federal Government, the history of this desert oasis is just as vast as the scenery.


The selected volunteers will provide guided tours of a historic structure, greet visitors and collect fees in our visitor center and museum, participate in astronomy programs and community outreach events, care for our livestock of cows, horses, and chickens, lead cultural demonstrations in a variety of different topics based on the interests of the volunteer, aligning with the Monument's history.


The Monument is 40 acres that is entirely surrounded by the Kaibab Paiute Indian Reservation on the Arizona Strip. The Monument includes a visitor center and cultural museum, restored grassland ecosystem, a Southern Paiute encampment, gardens, orchards, historic structures, and a 1/2 mile hiking trail with views over 50 miles on clear days. The Monument is located in Arizona with the border in Utah.


Due to the nature of the position, a 12-week commitment is required and in order to receive free housing, 32 hours of volunteer work per week is required.


Many recreational opportunities exist within a 1-3 hour drive of the Monument, including Zion National Park, Grand Canyon National Park, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, Bryce Canyon National Park, Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, and countless other federal, state, tribal, and local attractions.
