Volunteer Fair

JOIN THE EXCITING TEAM OF COLORADO RAILROAD MUSEUM VOLUNTEERS BY ATTENDING A VOLUNTEER FAIR ON SATURDAY, August 16

Colorado’s largest railroad museum is looking for volunteers who are interested in helping guests learn about the fascinating and important roles that railroads have played (and continue to play) in the history and development of the Centennial State. Located in beautiful Clear Creek Valley near Golden, just 12 miles west of downtown Denver, the Colorado Railroad Museum proudly features a team of 300 volunteers who participate in railroad operation and maintenance, educational programs, special events staffing, enhancing the visitor experience and many other unique roles.

Volunteers are especially needed to support two of the Museum’s most popular upcoming events, Day Out With Thomas™ and THE POLAR EXPRESS™ Train Ride. These family-focused experiences draw thousands of visitors each year and rely on a dedicated team to bring the magic to life. Volunteers play a vital role in these signature events, from helping with train rides, activities, and photo opportunities at Day Out With Thomas™ to serving hot chocolate and welcoming guests during THE POLAR EXPRESS™ Train Ride. Whether you prefer being hands-on or working behind the scenes, there’s a place for every passion and skill level!

Beyond events, volunteers support exhibits, lead interpretive stations, run simulators and demonstrations, and inspire young minds during school tours and educational programs. No prior railroad experience is necessary. Volunteers attend orientation classes and receive on-the-job training, then go on to help visitors have fun while learning about Colorado’s fascinating railroad history.

HOW TO GET STARTED!
