Volunteers may encounter a wide variety of visitors including rock climbers, backpackers, families and Junior Rangers, and day hikers. Volunteers must be comfortable answering repetitive questions and greeting visitors of all experience levels. Volunteers will be required to obtain a First Aid/CPR certification as part of this position; the certification is offered, for free, by the park.

Volunteer shifts are one day/week from 8:00am-2:00pm . We are looking for volunteers at Wild Basin on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays and volunteers at Longs Peak on Mondays and Tuesdays. Other shifts are not available at this time.
