Golden Young Professionals is proud to give back to the community that supports us. Throughout the year, our members volunteer at local events, festivals, and initiatives that make Golden a vibrant place to live and work.

Local Volunteer Opportunities

 

BGOLDN – Food Support & Pantry Assistance
Volunteers help at BGOLDN’s Fresh Food Pantry by sorting food, stocking shelves, and preparing grocery boxes. There are also opportunities to support their grocery delivery program for families in need.

Golden History Museum & Park
The museum seeks volunteers for visitor services, gallery support, programs, and even seasonal junior camp aide roles — ideal for folks who enjoy history, education, and interactive events.

Golden Welcome Center
The GWC is the face of Golden – and so are our volunteers!  Staffed with entirely all volunteers, our welcome desk team answers questions from guests and visitors while also serving as a trusted resource for residents and the broader community.  The GWC is open year-round and the welcome desk is staffed in 3 or 4 hours shifts, depending on the season.
