The Yuma Territorial Prison seeks volunteers for Storyteller Tour Guides, Museum Greeters, Grounds Maintenance Crew, and Character Actors. Duties for each will vary and no experience is required.

The informational session will introduce prospective volunteers to the park volunteer program, discuss position openings, and how to become a volunteer. There will also be a short history of the park and an optional tour of prison grounds.

The Yuma Territorial Prison State Historic Park is among Arizona’s most visited tourist destinations and was voted the #2 Best Haunted Destination in the United States by USA Today. Over 3,000 inmates were incarcerated in the Yuma Territorial Prison between 1875 and 1909, housing some of Arizona’s most notorious prisoners.

The park is managed by the Yuma Crossing National Heritage Area. For more information, please contact Park Manager, Yanna Kruse at (928) 783-4771. The Yuma Territorial Prison State Historic Park is located at 220 Prison Hill Road in Yuma, Arizona.
