The most popular volunteer position is a Building Sitter.

Recycling attendants work with Coconino County Sustainability to reduce recycle contamination by providing education and monitoring recycling bins.

For every four hours, a volunteer is eligible to receive 2 admission tickets, 1 parking pass, and a Volunteer Thank-you Bag. There is a maximum of 6 tickets per person.
