Volunteer, Work Exchange and Internship Opportunities
As a nonprofit organization, Naropa University Extended Studies makes an effort to keep our programs affordable. However, we understand that price remains an obstacle for some. To meet this challenge, we provide an opportunity for you to share your talents and skills in exchange for partial, or in some cases, entire tuition. Examples of work exchanges are helping with registration, filing, data entry, helping during the event, etc. Also, Extended Studies invites you to volunteer with us. We welcome your creative energy. Contact Chris Connally at 303-245-4873 or connally@naropa.edu.

Community Scholarship Fund
Donations made to our scholarship fund provide assistance to attendees with financial need. For more information or to donate to the fund, please contact us at 303-245-4800 or Donate Online.

Call for Community Cover Art
Would you like to see your artwork on the cover of the Naropa University Extended Studies catalog? We encourage local artists to submit original artwork to be featured on the cover of this bi-annual catalog. Painting, drawing, photography, origami, sculpture, graphic arts, collage and more will be considered.  Artwork will be featured on our catalog cover and website, and in various advertisements. For submission information, email catalogart@naropa.edu or phone 303-245-4703.

Lecture Passes
Join us at our Friday night lectures. Purchase a Lecture Pass and receive discounted admission. The passes work as a punch card and must be presented for admission to a Friday night lecture, with or without preregistration. They are valid for one year from the date of purchase and, in the case of Friday evening lectures costing more than $15, the difference is paid at the time of registration or arrival. Contact us for more information.
