Volunteer Application
Welcome to Team Watermelon! We're glad to have you!
Please take a moment to complete this short form. Before volunteering, we ask that you attend a Volunteer Orientation.

Orientations
Orientations are held at the main Ranch in northern Rio Rancho, NM every Saturday from 12pm-1pm.  Please reserve your day as we keep the sessions small. Volunteers under the age of 18 years need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian at Orientation. 

Remember your sunscreen and closed-toed shoes (no sandals). An orientation is not required for Resale Shop volunteering. Please see our Volunteer page for details. Once you complete a Ranch Orientation, you can start volunteering the same day! Our Volunteer Coordinator will help identify places of interest and how to get started!
