Any U.S. citizen or an individual with official immigrant status (by marriage or green card) over the age of 8-years-old is eligible to volunteer. Children between 8 and 16-years-old must either volunteer with their parents or be part of an organized youth, church, or school group.
What about non-citizens?
Unfortunately, BLM is unable to directly accept international volunteers. We can work with third-party voluntary service organizations that specialize in obtaining assignments for international volunteers.
What kind of work can I do for BLM Wyoming?
Volunteers can participate in almost any BLM program where a need has been identified. Some of the assignments that volunteers have accomplished include trail work, wildlife monitoring, visitor contact, restoring riparian areas, planting trees, mapping, and computer input.
