Work Weekends

A cornerstone of the MDHCA is the generous time, talents, and treasure donated by our amazing volunteers over the years. Since 1980 under the Friends of the Mojave Road, and today as the MDHCA, impressive things have been accomplished by our amazing and generous volunteers. Ordinary people from diverse backgrounds, banding together for a common good, have come forward and donated resources and time to enhance our mission. It is kind of like America used to be.

We need help of all kinds, ranging from processing our archival collections, to supporting our publications program, to physical assistance in developing and maintaining the improvements on the 75 acres making up the Goffs Cultural Center. Whether you like to use a computer or a shovel, there is bound to be something you’d enjoy doing. To find out about the latest volunteer projects and how you can become involved, subscribe to the Mojave Road Report.

Goffs is in Southern California 100 miles south of Las Vegas and 30 miles west of the Colorado River, just off I-40.
