The El Pilar program offers many opportunities for people to get involved with the active research going on in both the field (Guatemala and Belize) and at the headquarters at UCSB.

One way to get involved is to make a monetary donation to the program. Whether it is small or large, the donation will help further the research goals of the project by allowing us to purchase needed equipment, pay other researchers for their valuable time, as well as housing for the crew while they are in the field. You may also donate usable equipment needed to continue to meet our research goals. From a pack of pencils, to a 4wheel-drive vehicle, all are needed and play an important role in achieving our goals.

Another way to get involved is to volunteer as a crewmember or to work in the lab at UCSB. In the field, one can fill many different positions and learn all aspects of a multi-disciplinary project. Click Here for an application.
