Volunteering with No More Deaths

Want to get involved with No More Deaths? We have different options depending on where you live and how long you can spend with us:

… Do you live in Southern Arizona?

The ongoing work of No More Deaths depends on a strong network of local volunteers, who organize, plan, support, and lead all aspects of our projects, such as Desert Aid, Fundraising, Abuse Documentation, our Nogales and Northern Mexico projects, and more. Each project has different ways of plugging in and different time commitments: see our local volunteering page for some ways to get involved, whether you live in Arizona all year round or for part of the year.

… Don't live in Arizona but able to travel to volunteer for two weeks - three months?

No More Deaths has a year-round Desert Aid camp in Arivaca, Arizona. We need the support of longer-term volunteers to keep our camp running all year round. The out of town volunteer program is limited to four volunteers at any time and requires a volunteer commitment of at least two weeks. Our capacity for training, hosting, and supporting volunteers is limited; we are not able to accommodate groups, nor individuals who cannot stay for at least 2 weeks.

Once you have gone through our training and onboarded, you can apply as a “returning volunteer” for more flexible periods of time.

… Can’t volunteer in the desert, but still want to support us?

Thank you for your support, we really truly couldn’t do it without you. Ways of supporting us include making a financial contribution (consider becoming a sustaining donor!) and getting involved in our fundraising work. See the fundraising page for information and contacts.

If you wish to come out to the desert, please apply through one of our programs. We operate on very limited capacity and cannot accommodate volunteer requests outside of our structured programs. We generally do not have capacity to host large groups or volunteers for singe day trips. If you are interested in this, please connect with our friends the Tucson Samaritans and Frontera de Cristo.
