Volunteer projects are fun, easy and make a difference

A volunteer project is a great way for members of your organization to have fun together outside, while giving back to the community. It's also a great way for high school students to get their community service graduation hours.

Partner with us!

• It’s rewarding – we provide satisfying team-building projects that positively impact the community and the environment.
• It’s fun – projects can be educational and offer opportunities for participant bonding and morale enhancement. Get outside and enjoy the scenic views of one of our Town properties in a whole new way.
• It’s easy – all tools, materials, supervision and guidance are provided. Or, if you want to get out on your own, contact Marcy Jones at MJones@CRgov.com for details.

• Schools - guided hike trash clean-ups, wildlife presentations, the Colorado Bluebird Project, trail work and more
• Cub Scout / Girl Scout - merit badge community service and educational presentations (examples include: Earth Day willow harvest and planting event, trash clean-ups, flower planting and more)

• Fill out a group application. 
• Email or call the POST volunteer coordinator at 303-814-7456.

• Custom group projects usually consist of eight to 40 people.
• Projects are usually scheduled within a 3-4 hour time frame, either before or after lunch.
• Waivers will need to be completed by all participants and a roster filled out by the group leader on the day of the project outing.

• Trail maintenance – Join one of our scheduled trail maintenance groups. In addition to these groups, we conduct trail maintenance activities on Town properties as needed. Register on VolunteerConnectDC.org. For questions, contact the POST Partners Volunteer Program Coordinator for more information.
• Trash Pick Up – Join us for weekly trash pick up outings. Register on VolunteerConnectDC.org. For questions, contact the POST Partners Volunteer Program Coordinator for more information.
• Noxious weed collection – Knapweed can be eradicated from many of our trails when the plants are cut and bagged. Plus, this gives trail users a better experience when these weeds are removed from the trail edge where they can cut and scratch people’s legs.
• Park or Streetscape Landscaping – Mulch replacement or hardscape improvements as needed.
