Resource Central is looking for volunteers to help put conservation into action. Every year, hundreds of volunteers donate their time, impacting conservation throughout Colorado.

The first step to becoming a volunteer is to fill out an application based on your interests. Below, you’ll find a variety of roles and opportunities at Resource Central for anyone eager to support conservation in our community. We’d love for you to get involved—keep reading for more details and to sign up!

Volunteer Opportunities: Materials Reuse Program

Help Reduce Waste and Conserve Resources

Join us for an active and impactful role at our Materials Reuse facility, where every effort supports conservation. Every day, community members donate unneeded building materials so others can purchase them affordably, helping us keep over 6 million pounds of materials in use and out of the landfill each year. Volunteers like you make it all happen—whether you’re welcoming visitors, organizing, sorting, and pricing materials, or simply being a friendly face at one of our fun events.

Have a skilled trade? Join our handyperson crew or even lead a workshop on site! Whatever your skills, interests, or availability, there’s a place for you to make a real difference in reducing waste and supporting your community.
