Yuma Quartermaster Depot
Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteer weavers and spinners bring history to life.

The Yuma Quartermaster Depot State Historic Park volunteer program offers park maintenance and interpretive education positions for adults. Volunteers help to enhance visitor experience by assisting park staff with building and grounds maintenance, and by presenting interpretive education tours or developing interpretive education displays.

Volunteer position time commitments vary, and are flexible. Positions are available year-round, although during certain times of year there may be a higher demand for a particular position (such as tour assistance during the school year). The park welcomes both year-round residents and winter visitors as volunteers. Contact the Volunteer Coordinator with any questions.

Interpretive Guide
The Interpretive Guide assists the park's Interpretive Education Coordinator in researching, planning, and presenting park interpretive programs. Most of these programs are designed for schoolchildren in grades 1-8, although the park also offers our History of the Yuma Quartermaster Depot tour for adult tour groups and the general public. The volunteer may choose which group(s) they would like to work with.

Maintenance Assistant
The Maintenance Assistant is responsible for light building and grounds maintenance duties. There is a wide array of potential duties for this position. The volunteer may choose which among these duties they would like to conduct.
