Featured Volunteer Opportunities
Frisco BBQ Challenge
Frisco BBQ Challenge, June 17th & 18th
The High Country Conservation Center is proud to partner with the Town of Frisco for their Colorado BBQ Challenge as a zero waste event. This festival proves that you can eat great BBQ, have fun AND care for our beautiful mountain environment all at the same time!
Volunteers are the backbone to making this zero-waste event a success by helping to educate festival-goers on what is recyclable and what is not. Volunteers receive an event t-shirt, food and drink tickets, and some good karma.
**Late shift volunteers will receive an HC3 schwag bag**
