Volunteers
Become a Volunteer
Thank you for your interest in the Breckenridge Outdoor Education Center (BOEC). The BOEC provides empowering outdoor and teambuilding experiences for people of all abilities, including those with physical and mental disabilities, ‘at-risk’ youth and people living with serious illnesses or injury, as well as school groups, corporate teams and others. As a non-profit organization for 28 years, the BOEC deeply appreciates the continued support of the individuals, businesses and organizations in Summit County and the surrounding areas.
We appreciate your willingness to volunteer for our organization. The BOEC has a fully developed and very active volunteer program during both the summer and the winter seasons. The winter Adaptive Ski Program is the most high profile program at the BOEC. The lessons taught through the adaptive ski office are visible to the Breckenridge community and to thousands of skiers on the slopes. Since the Adaptive Ski Program is highly utilized, we use a large number of volunteers and interns to teach lessons. For more information about volunteering with the Adaptive Ski Program please 
visit the Adaptive Ski section on this website. Volunteers are also needed for special projects in the following areas: the Administrative Offices, Special Events (Breckebeiner, and other seasonal events), and maintenance and/or repairs in our offices or at the program site.
Thanks again for your interest in the BOEC. We look forward to working with you soon!
Maintenance Projects
Are you handy? Assist the BOEC with it’s perpetual “to do list” for program facilities and equipment. We have projects for every level of volunteer, from professionals to home handymen. Most projects take place at the F&D Placer Program Site or at the Wellington Warehouse.
Office Projects
Are you a person who is at home in an office and looking for a chance to help make the BOEC’s programs a reality? Help out in the Program Office at the BOEC’s Administration Office on Wellington Road. Assistance is needed for various administrative projects, including data entry, reorganizing files/office space, etc. Open to a flexible schedule.
*All volunteers working directly with students are subject to a background check.
