    Description

    Dinosaur Ridge is a non-profit outdoor museum and National Natural Landmark with over 250 dinosaur footprints and dozens of dinosaur bones still in place from the Mesozoic, the Age of the Dinosaurs. Dinosaur Ridge outdoor education programs are led by volunteers like you!

    Do you speak Spanish? Do you enjoy children and learning or teaching about dinosaurs? We are looking for bilingual volunteers to help inspire students to be scientists as they observe, wonder, and learn about the lives and deaths of our backyard dinosaurs and the unique fossils, and geology found at this National Natural Landmark. In-depth training is provided so you do not need to have a background in geology or paleontology. We hope you'll consider joining our fun team of educators as we work to expand our Spanish language offerings to reach a wider audience.

    School tours and other scheduled outdoor education programs are conducted Sept-June on weekdays between 9am-3pm. During the summer, programs are conducted for camps and adult groups. Weekend walking tours are offered throughout the year.

    Volunteer as as often as you would like, with a min. commitment of 8 hrs/month for at least 3 months after completing training. Interested? please visit www.dinoridge.org/volunteer for more details and to complete our volunteer application.
