Capulin Volcano utilizes volunteers primarily during the summer months when visitation requires increased staff. Volunteers work at the visitor center, present talks, rove the trails to answer questions, and assist with resource management or maintenance projects. Limited funds and housing limit the number of volunteers we can hire. Students should inquire about intern positions through the Student Conservation Association (SCA) and the Geological Society of America (Geologist in Park program).
