Volunteer Requirements

Age

  • Volunteers must be 18 years of age or older.

Experience

  • No prior experience is required, however being in good physical condition is essential to carry-out the labor intensive fieldwork.

Costs

  • Besides the cost of traveling to Puerto Natales, our volunteers do not pay for anything while they are in the park. The Legacy Fund team covers food, camping, work tools and local transportation costs while in the park.

* We give priority and preference to those from nearby local communities, residents of Patagonia, and Chile, though international folks are still welcome to apply.

“It was an incredible experience. I never thought I could enjoy nature, the mountains, and the glaciers as much as I did.  Even though the work was challenging, being around such great company made everything easier.”

“The bond I developed with some of the team members was something I will always cherish, even more than the wonderful landscapes we enjoyed. It has been a lifetime experience that if given the chance, I would do it all over again.”
