Become A Friends Member
As a Friends Member, what you receive far outweighs what you give. Just ask our 400+ Members and
find out how you can begin enjoying the benefits of being a Friend for as little as $20 a year!
Becoming a Friend offers many benefits, while helping to protect, preserve and promote Coronado & Jemez Historic Sites
Become A Friend
The Friends have been helping to preserve and promote the Coronado Historic Site for over 20 years, and the Jemez Historic Site for the past five years. We provided 2,928 volunteer hours in 2025 valued at $78,725, to help raise funds and support the Sites.
​​​​
We each bring our unique life experiences, and professional skills to share and preserve the historic sites for future generations. We share a common understanding that our Historic Sites are a key part of New Mexico's history and worth protecting.​​
​​​
​​The Friends offer opportunities that make a difference. Maybe become a Docent (teacher or lecturer) to explain our history, operate our Coronado or Jemez Gift Shops meeting visitors from all around the globe, impact change through our legislative partners, plan events, help with archaeological digs to preserve, clean, and restore our Sites, or to serve on our Board of Directors as a decision maker. Feel free to reach out to any of our 400+ members to hear about what it's like being part of this impactful group.
​
There are many ongoing volunteer opportunities that will make a huge impact for our Sites. Visit our upcoming events page to see how you can volunteer at the Coronado and Jemez Historic Sites.
