RV volunteers are needed to support the care of a historic Forest Service property on the shore of South Lake Tahoe. Positions are available in maintenance, artistry, interpretation and docent work, from May until October. Volunteers commit 4 days per week to the site and are asked to stay for an 8 week minimum. RV camping is provided at no cost, as well as additional volunteer service rewards.
