​SERVICE TRIPS

VOLUNTEER SERVICE TRIPS

"Amazing non profit that applies best practices to serve, advocate and honor our Native  communities while procuring reconciliation and peacemaking. Great staff and great environment to volunteer"! - 2022 Hopi Nation Volunteer

REGISTER FOR VOLUNTEER SERVICE TRIPS
Projects include repairing homes in need of windows, doors or handicap ramps, etc., or cutting and distributing firewood, delivering requested donations or food and supply boxes. Other service opportunities typically arise organically during the trip. Projects are based on the skill level and interests of the volunteers. Many of these projects are done cooperatively with Tribal members. 
​
Volunteer service trips are free,  as such, we provide our volunteers with ways that you may do your own fundraising and strongly encourage you to engage your friends, family and professional network to help offset our costs for offering these trips free of charge. 

​We encourage you to set a FUNDRAISING goal of at least $750. Other ways volunteers can give back include adopting a project, spreading the word in their community or making a donation directly to Tipi Raisers.
​PLEASE NOTE: ​
  • Modest lodging is provided and can be rustic and without privacy.  Please feel free to bring a travel trailer, tent or RV.  
  • ​Food is provided but if you have specific food requirements please bring what you need and there will be room for you to store it.
  • Trip orientation packet and packing list will be sent upon registration.
  • Transportation is not provided.
  • Service trips tend to require varying levels of physical labor, please communicate with our team if you have concerns about this.
For more information, please contact Program Assistant, Mackenzie Tilton.

Due to Covid-19 we will monitor the safety of these trips and update the website as we know more.
