Volunteering with Re-Member

Volunteering with Re-Member is an emotional and life-changing event. During your visit to Pine Ridge Reservation, you will witness the extreme poverty afflicting the Lakota people of Pine Ridge; but also the resilience and strength of character that comes from their culture and traditions.

What to expect on your volunteer trip with Re-Member

You Will Work

Our repertoire of projects includes bunk beds, outhouses, trailer skirting, entry steps, wheelchair ramps and decks and – in colder months – splitting and delivering firewood.

Please don't be worried about the work, or your level of experience! While prior experience is certainly helpful, the majority of our volunteers come with little to no prior experience. We promise the experience of volunteering is an experience you will remember for a lifetime.

You Will Have Lots of Fun

Nightly Lakota speakers, artisan night and community dinner (during the summer months), and touring to historical and culturally significant sites are an integral part of your experience here.

You Will Experience Lakota Culture

Re-Member exists to build relationships with the Lakota People.
