    Certified Paleontology Museum Tour Guide

    If you love dinosaurs and enjoy sharing your love of dinosaurs, we have the perfect role for you! We are currently seeking folks to join the Museum crew as volunteer Paleontology Tour Guides. Our Certified Paleontology Interpreters connect curious museum guests to the extraordinary fossils of the Morrison-Golden area through personalized tour experiences. As primary educators in the exhibition, our Paleontology Tour Guides offer informal science education for visitors of all ages through unstructured, conversational experiences and hands-on exhibits.

    As a volunteer, you will receive comprehensive training to ensure a meaningful experience for both you and our visitors. We welcome all applicants--whether a retired professional, life-long dino fan, or recently paleo-curious--to take advantage of this opportunity and become part of our paleontology crew. Please click the link to apply and start the conversation. We look forward to meeting you and working together to make a positive impact.

    • Must be at least 14 years old to volunteer without a parent or legal guardian.
    • Volunteers under age 18 must have written permission of parent or legal guardian.

    The training will be conducted at the museum and includes five sessions, as well as a mentorship period.
