Sharing Your Passion

"Volunteering in Yosemite National Park is a privilege. It has always been my desire to share my passion for the outdoors, respect for water, land, and living things. Each day in the park allows me that opportunity."

Making an Impact

“Occasionally, I look at my favorite book which has an aerial photo of Tuolumne Meadows.  The photo shows a very clear social trail that used to be taken by visitors on horseback.  I take pride in the fact that the photo of the meadow is obsolete.  That horse trail has completely vanished and our work week crew made it happen!”

Helping Visitors Make the Most of Yosemite

Whether greeting visitors and answering their questions or restoring meadows and eradicating invasive species, as a Yosemite Conservancy volunteer you will make a difference in the park.

Our committed volunteers can be credited with much of what is achieved in the park each year, from habitat restoration to providing visitor services. Without their efforts many projects would simply not happen.

From May - September 2012, our award-winning Yosemite Conservancy volunteers provided information to over 331,000 visitors, and contributed over 18,000 total volunteer hours.
