Do you love Colorado's parks? Thinking about becoming a park ranger?

If you answered "yes" to either one - or both! - and you're between 18 and 24 you might want to apply to become a Youth Ambassador for Colorado Parks and Wildlife.

Applications are being accepted through Dec. 2.

The Youth Ambassador promotes awareness of Colorado's state parks through video blogs, online articles, photo essays, social media networking, and multi-media training.

This is a year-long volunteer position, which involves visiting state parks and writing, researching and producing videos, photos and stories.

You'll work with others around the country to promote state parks and outdoor recreation and encourage young people to experience and connect with the outdoors.

Your application must include:
•    A 500-word maximum essay about yourself and why you are applying.
•    A three-minute video (can be a link to YouTube or other site) explaining what you hope to do as a Youth Ambassador.
•    Three references who speak to your abilities and qualifications.
