WORK IN YELLOWSTONE FOR THE SUMMER

CLEANING UP OUR FIRST NATIONAL PARK
If you are looking for unique and different way to spend your summer – if you want to be in one of the most unique and beautiful places in this country of ours – then you should consider spending your summer months working in Yellowstone National Park.

The National Park Service does have seasonal jobs available not only in Yellowstone, but in most of the national parks in this country.

How do you find these jobs? One of the best resources that you can use is, of course, the Internet. Check out the website www.nps.gov. This site will allow you the opportunity to select the park you wish to work in. From my own personal experience, I have found that the best time to begin searching for these jobs would be in November or December of the year prior to the season that you want to work.

Also speaking from personal experience, there is seasonal housing available, at least in Yellowstone National Park. Please be aware that you will be charged a nominal fee for your housing for the season. You will be required to wear a uniform while you are working in the National Park. However, you will be given a clothing allowance by the government and they will direct you to the website where you may order your uniforms.

The variety of jobs that are available varies greatly, especially in Yellowstone. As you can see from the photo above, our National Park does require regular cleaning and trash removal.

I can promise you that working in Yellowstone for the season will be an experience you will never forget and probably one you will want to repeat.
