Volunteer Testimonials

”Volunteering with GSEP is an opportunity not be missed. Mack and Chloee are not only passionate about preserving the GSENM, but they are exceptional at providing an educational space that cultivates safety and community. This is more than a volunteer opportunity, it’s an experience that will create a container for stewardship and personal growth!” 

"This project was three days of good hard work with great company including wonderful staff. I came away feeling like I understood the challenges the BLM faces better and wishing to return to help again." 

“Super enjoyed participating on the Hoodoos Road project. It was well organized, the coffee strong, the instructions well conveyed, the interaction with BLM Ranger was good and informative as well as with the Volunteer Specialists Chloee and Mackenzie. The Volunteer Specialists were kind, supportive and positive. After completing our project for the day and weighing in our bounty of ash and trash (90lbs!), I felt a bit of pride as I drove away. It was a good feeling to volunteer, and I think others would truly enjoy feeling the same. Overall a good experience on our treasured Monument.”

"Volunteering with GSEP was hands-down the most engaging, inspiring and fun volunteer project with which I've ever been involved. The volunteer leaders are experts in their fields, well-informed and facilitate an incredible experience. From the days leading up to the trip, I felt informed, welcomed and reassured that things would function smoothly. Even then, my expectations were exceeded as the trip was more fun and interesting than I ever could have expected. The volunteer work felt significant and I was proud to be a part of the team as we engaged with visitors at each site we visited. I can't wait to sign up for my next volunteer project with Grand Staircase Escalante Partners." 

"A great experience, the educated and energetic staff helped us all make a difference!" 

“Mack and Chloee were the best leaders for this trip; they listened to what everyone has to say and were the sweetest most inclusive, welcoming girls ever! There was a great mix of education, exploring the landscape and steward projects that keep volunteers coming back! Great work guys!”
