Do Your Part
Are you looking for a way to get involved in protecting the public lands of southern Utah? Do you have a month (or more!) to volunteer? Do you love hiking and talking with visitors? Bears Ears Partership is seeking long-term volunteers who would like to help protect and steward Bears Ears National Monument and other public lands in San Juan County, UT. Volunteer work includes assisting visitors in our Education Center (approximately 60% of your time, more in the summer), hiking to popular local archaeological sites along Comb Ridge and in Cedar Mesa and educating visitors on how to Visit With Respect, and joining service projects and public land monitoring projects.
Get Outside
This volunteer work requires a moderate to more strenuous activity level and includes being outdoors in all seasons. We’re seeking people with good communication and interpersonal skills to provide information in a friendly, positive manner. You should be flexible, self-reliant, independent, and willing to pitch in on whatever task is needed as everyone in a small non-profit wears many hats.
It's Worth It
