Adult Service Corps

Adult Service Corps offers an opportunity to share your time and talent and unwind within the beauty and community that is Ghost Ranch. Unleash the joy of working with your hands and be enriched by the satisfaction of tasks completed. Discover how meaningful and inspiring it can be to “travel with a purpose” while making new friends who share your desire to see the ranch thrive. 

As a member of the Adult Service Corps, you will help with ranch improvements and important maintenance tasks. Develop or hone your building skills with power tools, construction, and repair. Additional tasks on our list may include painting, gardening, and cleaning projects. In high season, we may be asked to support hospitality with tasks such as greeting arriving guests or tidying the dining hall. Each morning, we will meet as a group, choose our tasks and work in teams. You can choose to do what you already do well – or opt to try something new. 

Adult Service Corps members volunteer a total of 22 hours of work to the ranch in exchange for a reduced weekly rate of $420 that includes tuition, room and board (and a t-shirt). Tasks may be in or outdoors and involve physical labor. Please let us know if you have a physical condition that prevents you from doing some tasks. We want everyone to be safe throughout the week. Please bring work clothes, work gloves if you have them, a hat or visor for the sun, closed-toe shoes for working outdoors or in the shop, sunscreen, and a water bottle.
