Volunteer

El Rancho de Las Golondrinas could not operate without the help of its dedicated volunteers. If you enjoy the history and culture of New Mexico, consider volunteering at Las Golondrinas. We host 55,000 visitors annually from around the world and always need talented history interpreters to answer questions, guide tours and demonstrate what life was like at an authentic Spanish Period rancho.

Volunteering at our beautiful 500-acre museum is very rewarding. We work with your schedule to make donating your time at Las Golondrinas a positive experience.
