CASSP Workshops
CASSP volunteer training workshops have two parts. Each part takes a full day. Part 1 is a free, online classroom meeting. It is open to the public with no prerequisites. Part 2 is a field trip to archaeological sites and there are three requirements described below. Field trips will take place at various locations around the State. Our ability to provide these field trips is constrained by funding and the availability of public agencies to host them.

Register for CASSP workshop part 2 field session on December 13
The next CASSP volunteer training workshop part 2 is scheduled for Saturday, December 13, 9:00 am to 4:00 pm in a California State Parks, Great Basin District location, depending on weather. On this field trip, we will review safety tips and complete State Parks volunteer forms. We will visit archaeological sites to observe and record conditions as if we were the site stewards assigned to these sites. Lunch, workshop notebooks, and CASSP hats will be provided. We require participants to have attended a previous workshop part 1 (in November 2025 or earlier), to sign a confidentiality agreement to not share sensitive site information or location, and to pay $25 fee to the workshop administrator, Partners for Archaeological Site Stewardship. Fees will be collected on the day of the field trip.
