You will make new friends with the same interests, and have fun while accomplishing something that could have far-reaching effects. Anyone can volunteer. Citizens under the age of 18 must have parent or guardian approval, whether they are volunteering as an individual or as part of a group. Volunteer service must comply with federal and state laws on using the services of minors. If you are not a U.S. citizen, you must possess a valid visa to become a BLM volunteer.
Opportunities exist for individuals, families, or service groups.
Volunteers can participate in almost any BLM program where a need has been identified. Some of the assignments that volunteers have accomplished include trail work, wildlife monitoring, visitor contact, restoring riparian areas, planting trees, mapping, and computer input. The only areas which prohibit volunteers are law enforcement, fire suppression, or as a part of special use flights. Or come by our office at 5665 Morgan Mill Road in Carson City. Each opportunity, or job announcement, lists a description of the job, where the job will be performed, what the BLM will provide to help accomplish the job, what the applicant may be expected to provide, and a specific contact person, address, telephone number, and e-mail address.
