Volunteer and Internship Opportunities

The Center for ReSource Conservation (CRC) relies heavily on the help of 100+ volunteers and interns each year. Opportunities range from spending a few hours each week in the office or the sales yard to serving on an event planning committee. We are currently accepting applications for internship and volunteer positions.

Please contact us at crc@conservationcenter.org to learn about ways to become involved with the CRC.

Current Internship Opportunities

We work closely with several programs at the University of Colorado Boulder, Naropa University, and college and high school programs nationwide to provide high-quality, realistic working experiences for students. Our internships are similar to our volunteer opportunities; there are a lot of opportunities to choose from.

We need students who are motivated, independent, hard workers that want to learn how a well-established nonprofit works. Depending on our division needs for the specific time of year and the individual’s goals and interests, interns can work with us as event planners, program assistants, volunteer coordinators, research assistants, graphic designers, office assistants and more.

Internships can count for college credit. Paid opportunities arise when specific program funding allows.
Please review the internship positions we have listed and  send a cover letter and resume to the corresponding contact listed. If none of the projects fit your interests or for general inquires please contact: crc@conservationcenter.org
