Night comes to the desert all at once, as if someone turned off the light.

-Joyce Carol Oates

If you are interested in ISDA and what we do, we welcome your participation. Whether you are in Ajo for a visit, a season, or a lifetime, we would be happy if you would share your skills with us as a volunteer.

  • Stop by our office and meet our friendly staff.
  • We can always use a hand with such things as writing our newsletters, translating our brochures, assisting in our workshops, helping the kids in a parade, helping with desert clean ups, gardening, watering or serving as a teacher's aide. The possibilities are endless.
  • So, click here to jump-in!
  • If you would like to make a donation, a gift or a bequest, your generosity will make a critical difference to ISDA. All of our programs have expenses beyond what is paid by grants. We welcome your general support, or you may direct your donation to the program of your choice.

Thank you!
