Product Details

Spend up to three months actively contributing to a series of challenging outdoor conservation projects in stunning locations such as the Grand Canyon, King’s Canyon and Yosemite National Park. You should be a physically fit, adventurous and independent traveller, looking to spend a summer or winter vacation or an extended career break contributing towards demanding yet rewarding group projects.

Common projects include trail maintenance, fencing and revegetation (planting and transplanting native species). There are also projects to help protect local endangered species (e.g. the Desert Tortoise and Apache Trout).

Volunteers work in teams of between 6 and 11 volunteers. As a team you will normally work for periods of 4 days followed by 3 days off. Projects are rotated every 2 - 4 weeks to provide a variety of experiences.

Volunteer USA lasts for either 10 or 12 weeks, does not require a US visa, and costs £250 which goes towards food, accommodation and transport during each project. Full pre-departure support from BUNAC in the UK, plus guidance and supervision during the programme from BUNAC’s US partner organisation are also included. You'll need to budget for flights, insurance, meals during time off and spending money.
