Did you think you would grow up to be a park ranger? It’s not too late! You can become a Volunteer
Ranger Assistant and help park and natural area rangers accomplish much of their important work. The
City of Fort Collins Natural Areas Department and Larimer County’s Department of Natural Resources are
now accepting Volunteer Ranger Assistant applications. Volunteers attend 20 hours of training in February,
and are asked to contribute 20 hours of service in return. Application deadline is January 30.
As a Volunteer Ranger Assistant, you will be an ambassador for natural areas and open spaces.
Volunteer Ranger Assistants (VRAs) are a friendly face on the trail that can answer visitor questions.
Volunteers have an important role in caring for trails, kiosks and other amenities. You can volunteer on
foot, ride your bike or ride your horse. In training you’ll learn about local and regional trails, how to
approach visitors, ecology, safety, and stewardship. You’ll meet rangers from Larimer County Department
of Natural Resources and the City of Fort Collins Natural Areas Department. You might meet new friends
too!
The Volunteer Ranger Assistant program is the perfect volunteer position if you need a flexible schedule.
Volunteers are especially needed on weekends. Get exercise, fresh air and quiet time all while giving back
to your community. Benefits include continuing education classes such as first aid and CPR, special
behind the scenes tours, recognition events and more.
Do you have what it takes to join this special group of volunteers? Qualified candidates will have
experience in the outdoors, excellent communication skills, time for volunteering and filing online patrol
logs, and access to the internet.
