This creates some unique challenges for programming. You may find that it takes us a bit longer to accomplish certain tasks than at other museums. The part-time status of our student staff offers volunteers the opportunity for a higher level of involvement.
Volunteers are at the core of our daily operations.
Volunteers also represent the Center at public events more often than do staff. It is through volunteers that we carry our mission of Preservation, Connection, and Respect to the public. We rely on our volunteer organization to provide the continuity that is essential to successful functioning. For our part, the staff of the Deer Valley Rock Art Center strives to create a positive and friendly environment in which volunteers will want to work. Currently we are developing a training program to foster a sense of wonder and excitement that volunteers can impart to visitors.
