Volunteer Opportunities

The Red Rock State Park Volunteer program started before the park opened in 1991 and today, volunteers contribute enough hours to equal that of six full-time employees. Our volunteers are needed and greatly appreciated.

Each year in September, 6 four-hour training sessions provide prospective volunteers with information about park philosophy and the local area. Topics include natural sciences, the school environmental education program, maintenance, archaeology, geology and interpretive hikes and tours. After graduation, volunteers then work throughout the park promoting environmental studies, lead programs and activities, assist park staff with maintenance projects, or visitor services. If you would like to learn more about the park volunteer program, please contact the Volunteer Coordinator.

They are required to give 24 hours per week of volunteer time working at the Entry Station and Visitor Center. Contact Patty Denison, Park Ranger, to inquire about Site Hosts positions.
