Volunteering Outdoors
Multi-Day Volunteer Stewardship Opportunities
Do you love the outdoors and volunteering? Do you enjoy challenging yourself to try new experiences? Try an immersive, multi-day volunteer experience.
Each year, our partner, Friends of Nevada Wilderness, hosts multi-day camping, restoration, and education extravaganzas on Nevada’s beautiful Public Lands. Their goal is to foster the spirit of stewardship by engaging in beginner-friendly projects and providing training to help you feel confident in you volunteer abilities. Also known as alternative breaks, these multi-day programs engage participants in meaningful, on-the-ground work with other community members to heal, protect, and explore our shared wild places

What is an Alternative Break?
Alternative Breaks are a great way to get to know some of Southern Nevada’s wildest places and help the environment! Alternative Break trips are multi-day adventures (3- 5 days) for participants 18 and older who are interested in conservation and stewardship. Please visit Friends of Nevada Wilderness for more information.
No Experience Necessary
Alternative Breaks are fun, rewarding, and a great way to meet new friends. Alternative Break trips are open to people of all outdoor skill levels. Beginners are encouraged to attend and discover your “inner-outdoors” when we cover camping basics, hiking tips, and more. Daily meals are provided, as well as camping equipment for those who need it.
