As Erma Bombeck beautifully said: “Volunteers are the only human beings on the face of the earth who reflect this nation’s compassion, unselfish caring, patience, and just plain loving one another.” Jojoba Hills is a member-run cooperative community, and volunteering is a core part of our community. Our bylaws state that members are expected to share their experience, knowledge, time, or skills for the benefit of the resort.

Many volunteer roles require a couple hours each a week. When special needs arise, notices are shared internally, and participation is always enthusiastic and appreciated. We are active participants working toward a common goal: being good stewards of our home and community to maintain and enhance it. By doing so, we gain a sense of purpose, make solid friendships, and enrich our own lives through the process. Working together we get to really know each other and appreciate the unique talent and skills we each bring. In many ways, we become a family.

Members are not expected to volunteer while away from the resort. Some members do choose to contribute remotely, but this is entirely optional.

Because Jojoba Hills depends on member participation for many programs and projects to save costs of paid staff, volunteering is essential to keeping the resort thriving and affordable. Members typically choose activities they enjoy, making volunteering a rewarding way to connect with neighbors and take pride in the community. We all experience times in our lives where we are unable to volunteer, this is to be expected. We are all active participants working toward a common goal: being good stewards of our home and community to maintain and enhance it. If you are unwilling to volunteer, then Jojoba Hills is not the right community for you to choose.
