You have a unique opportunity to live and work amongst some of the most spectacular scenery in the national parks of America on Volunteer USA. 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.

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.
