Tips for Applying

Yosemite receives hundreds of individual volunteer applications each year for a limited number of positions. Help us place you and make your application stand out at the same time by following these tips.

  • Housing: Tell us specifically what type of housing you are looking for--do you have an RV that needs hookups, are you okay without hookups, or are you okay tent camping? Do you need lodging? Do you have friends you can live with in the area? Do you live locally?

  • Timing: tell us when you're available, but also when your preferred work dates are. Remember, minimum number of hours to live in housing is 32 hours per person. Tell us how long you want to volunteer--one day, one week, one month, etc.

  • If you are a couple or family, include that information in your application; some housing is for individuals only, while other positions can accommodate a family.

  • Tell us what type of work you're interested in. Flexibility is great, but we have so many different types of work, that if you don't tell us what you want to do, we don't know where to start.

  • Tell us about experience you have related to the work you want to do--we get excited about applicants with special relevant skills.
