| Needs |
Information DeskThere are about 500,000 people coming into the Visitor Center annually. The information desk is typically staffed by two people during each morning and afternoon shift. During peak visitation periods, the need for friendly faces dispensing information increases.Tortoise Habitat VolunteersThe best job at the Rock involves helping with the care and feeding of the ten resident desert tortoises. The eight females live in one large habitat and the two males each have a separate habitat. Volunteers also interact with Red Rock guests and will likely develop a strong bond with at least one of the Rock Stars.Help Maintain the TrailsWant something a little more active? How about trash collection, maintaining and improving the trees and native plants, helping to increase the monarch population, repairing trails, documenting and preserving our Native American cultural sites, helping on community volunteer days and removing graffiti. |

| About us | Friends of Red Rock Canyon was established in 1984 for the purpose of providing trained volunteers for Red Rock Canyon National Recreation Area. Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area has more than 200,000 acres of climbing routes, hiking, cycling and equestrian trails, a beautiful Visitor Center and some amazing Rock Stars – the resident desert tortoises. As Red Rock Canyon evolved to a Conservation Area, the role of Friends has changed as well. Friends annually provides the equivalent of 13 full time employees as well as over $120,000 in direct financial support for programs and services. |
