Group Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteer stewardship is a great way to foster team building, civic engagement, and personal development! By supporting Rocky Mountain National Park and the Conservancy, your team can have meaningful impact on public lands, while enjoying these beautiful landscapes alongside friends, teammates and coworkers. Conservancy and park staff work to facilitate group volunteer projects for youth organizations and groups of adults. Projects are tailored specifically to the group size, interests, and ages. Projects require a minimum 4 hour time commitment.
Rocky Mountain National Park’s Volunteer Program Office welcomes inquiries for group volunteer projects year-round. Please contact the Volunteer Office [email protected] or 970-586-1330.
