Group Volunteers
Group Application
The Cheyenne River Youth Project has a long history of partnering with volunteer groups from across the country. Hosting service groups presents an exciting challenge for us and brings fresh ideas, creativity and vital support to our work. By working alongside these groups, we are able to provide one-to-one interactions with the children that our small staff alone cannot offer, and we benefit from the collective energy of groups who contribute to large-scale projects such as our organic garden.

Participating in a service trip reflects a thoughtful decision to spend your vacation engaged in meaningful work, and we truly appreciate the time and energy you offer. Volunteering with CRYP is challenging and demanding — nonprofit work requires physical stamina, long hours and a high level of flexibility and understanding. Yet the rewards are immeasurable.

  • $50 per person for group members ages 18+
