Become a Museum Volunteer

JOIN THE EXCITING TEAM OF COLORADO RAILROAD MUSEUM VOLUNTEERS BY ATTENDING A VOLUNTEER FAIR ON SATURDAY, August 24

Colorado’s most popular and comprehensive railroad museum is looking for volunteers! If you like the idea of 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, this opportunity is for YOU.

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 operations and maintenance, educational programs, special events staffing, enhancing the visitor experience, landscaping and track work, and many other unique roles.

Volunteers enjoy interesting and rewarding opportunities. Help run large events like Day Out with Thomas™ and THE POLAR EXPRESS™ Train Ride. Work behind the scenes on new exhibits, inspire school kids to learn about railroad history, and educate visitors through unique offerings including turntable demonstrations, diesel engine simulations, crafts and interpretive stations. 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!
The Colorado Railroad Museum will hold a Volunteer Fair on Saturday, August 24, 2024, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. During the fair, you can learn about volunteer opportunities, meet team members, and sign up for volunteer training classes. Volunteers must be at least 18 years of age. We seek outgoing people who love to share and work with others while following volunteer safety standards and codes of conduct.
