ORGANIZATION: National Park Service

Great Sand Dunes is looking for Visitor Services Volunteers for the 2025 season. Interpretation & Visitor Services Volunteers work alongside park rangers at the park's only visitor center.


If you join the volunteer program team at Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve, you can enjoy the tallest dunes in North America! The sand dunes are the centerpiece in a diverse landscape of grasslands, wetlands, conifer and aspen forests, alpine lakes, and tundra. Experience this diversity through hiking, sand sledding, splashing in Medano Creek, wildlife watching, and more!


Enjoy amazing scenery in beautiful Colorado, too. Activities in the surrounding area include: hiking, camping, hot springs, wildlife viewing, stargazing, and outstanding solitude. Alamosa is nearby (34 miles) with access to groceries, shopping, health clinics, movie theaters, restaurants, and Adams State University. The park will issue shirts, jackets, and baseball caps to be returned at the end of the season.


No housing or RV sites available inside the park.
