Please, review the following FAQs before applying to our program.

  • Traveling to Tucson

    • Air Travel : Airplane travel is only an option for medical professionals under the following conditions: 1) Wear a N95 mask that has been properly fitted the entire trip. It would be optimal for volunteers to travel nonstop and fly on an airline that does not fill all the seats (leaves center seats vacant). 2) Diligent hand hygiene and sanitizing practices. 3). Throw away the N95 mask away upon arrival. Wearing goggles or shields during travel is also highly advised. Non-medical professional traveling by airplane must quarantine for two weeks prior to doing desert aid work and are responsible to find their own housing during this time.
    • Personal Vehicle : If you are mostly green with no red on the risk assessment and practice diligent hand hygiene and sanitizing practices throughout travel, you do not have to quarantine once you arrive to Tucson
    • Other : If you are traveling through other avenues, you will need to quarentine for two weeks and are responsible for securing your own housing during this time.
