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 provide 6,000
volunteer hours valued at nearly $155,000 annually,
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/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.

DIG, GUIDE, LEAD
Members are tapped to help with activities like community archaeological digs and planning cultural and arts events at the Sites. Plus, those interested in leading educational workshops and talks have an opportunity to become docents, lead tours, and put their skills to use doing everything from grant writing to school outreach to gardening.
