Becoming A Volunteer

A volunteer is someone who gives time, talent, energy, skills, and experience, for which no payment is received. Volunteering is spending the precious gift of time, out of the belief that all have the ability to benefit others and the community. Thanks to volunteer programs, like these, the Laramie County Shooting Sports Complex is able to offer low-cost, self–supporting programs that serve the community as a whole. Volunteering is essential to a society that is dynamic and positive.

Our philosophy towards volunteer programs is one of mutual benefit. In return for the skills, interest, talents, and enthusiasm that the volunteers contribute to enhancing service offered, each volunteer will be provided with training and a meaningful valuable work experience. As a Volunteer you will be given the tools to provide first class customer service to ensure that the experience of our patrons reflects this vision. Volunteers can also earn range use time for the volunteer and family.

Volunteer Range Safety Officers assist the Laramie County Shooting Sports Complex Safety Officers at all indoor and outdoor ranges.
