Volunteering

Adults

Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site is privileged to have many generous volunteers who assist with summer programming and special events. Historical interpreter docents bring history to life by dressing in period-appropriate clothing and demonstrating everyday life. There are also many opportunities available for those who prefer modern clothing: gardeners contribute on their own schedule, seamstresses repair historic clothing behind the scenes, and special event volunteers perform various important tasks like supervising games, selling refreshments, and helping at the membership table. Applications for adult volunteer work (modern-clothing) are accepted all year. The required training for historic interpreters is offered only in May. Contact us for more information at info@rockledgeranch.com.

The Rock Ledge Ranch Living History Association Board is a volunteer support group for the Ranch. If you have time or skills that could benefit the Ranch and you wish to contribute on a regular basis through this organization, please contact: president@rockledgeranch.com

Youth

The Junior Docent Program is a unique volunteer opportunity for youth ages 10 to 17. Junior Docents dress in period clothing, conduct historic chores, play historic games, and engage visitors in conversations about Rock Ledge Ranch. Parents and families are very involved with the program and participate by volunteering for special events. Applications are open each year from March 1 at 9 a.m. MST. The potential Junior Docent is expected to complete the application questions and review all expectations and mandatory attendance requirements prior to completing the application. This is a very popular youth/teen volunteer program! There are more applications received than positions available.

If you need help or have questions about the programs or applications please contact us at (719) 578-6777 or info@rockledgeranch.com.
