Our volunteers are passionate about the history of Manitou Springs and serve in many aspects of our museum operations. For staffing our front desk, we are proud to partner with the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs via their Student Work Study program. Students with an interest in Museum studies are paid to learn the basics of Museum operations while completing their courses.
