Sign-Up Today to Volunteer at Yosemite Nation Park
February 18, 2024 - Yosemite National Park officials report that last year, 4,546 exceptional volunteers donated 95,065 service hours to Yosemite. Some project accomplishments by our volunteer groups include picking over 1.5 tons of apples to prevent human/bear encounters, collecting 11,612 buckets of trash, planting 4,756 plants, and repairing and installing over 700 fence posts and rails along trails.
Yosemite's volunteers are dedicated, hardworking, and essential to our park operations.
If you are interested in volunteering as a group, the 2024 Volunteer Project Catalog is live on the park website: https://www.nps.gov/.../supportyourpark/groupvolunteer.htm.
Applications are due by Sunday, February 25th at 11:59 P.M. Pacific time. Only groups within California, Nevada, Oregon, and Arizona will be considered as an effort to reduce the park's overall carbon footprint. If you have any questions, please email yose_volunteers@nps.gov.
