In order to prioritize archaeological preservation and ensure the dissemination of accurate and current information to the public, certain volunteer activities now mandate an ARI certification. This certification equips volunteers with the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively contribute to the cause.
Our mission is propelled forward with the assistance of ARI certified volunteers who play a crucial role in conducting research and educating the public. These volunteers undergo comprehensive educational training, akin to our interns and field students, enabling them to engage directly with the public and work autonomously alongside our staff archaeologists. At present, we provide certifications in laboratory work, field operations, and interpretation skills.
Are you intrigued by the idea of volunteering with ARI but prefer not to pursue certification? Rest assured, we have options that cater to diverse interests. At ARI, volunteers form the core of our organization, providing invaluable assistance in various areas. Whether it's designing and tending to our experimental gardens, participating in outreach events, conducting lab analyses, engaging in research, or carrying out field work, there's a role for everyone.
At ARI, numerous volunteer opportunities are available that do not necessitate certification. You have the chance to contribute to ARI through various roles, including trail and site maintenance, lab work, research, fundraising, operations, newsletter writing, event assistance, grant writing, or becoming an advocate to promote our mission.
