Have you dreamed of working at Philmont but can’t commit to the whole summer? Check out these short-term volunteer opportunities!
Volunteers will need to submit an online Seasonal Staff Application complete with a resume and references.

Provide your dates of availability (most volunteer positions last for 1-2 weeks total). If you have multiple windows of availability, feel free to include this information in an attached cover letter.
If you are available for the entire summer, you can turn any position into a volunteer opportunity. Submit an online application and indicate either in a cover letter or during your phone interview that you wish to spend your employment term as a volunteer seasonal staff member ($0 salary).
