 Glacier National Park in northern Montana offers great summer opportunities. |
Welcome to the [Your Company] seasonal jobs center! Developed in partnership with A+ Summer Jobs, the leader in seasonal job research and tools, this information is all you need to get a great job in places most people only visit - from beach resorts to national parks.
These jobs and employers were chosen because they provide an ideal opportunity for anyone to experience a completely new part of the country - from Florida to Alaska - while earning and saving money.
The employers listed in this section cumulatively hire over 100,000 seasonal workers each year, and most require employment commitments of three months or less. Many seasonal workers consider their job a "working vacation," and employers often offer great benefits like free or discounted food and lodging and free access to recreational facilities.
There are four types of seasonal employers profiled here:
Private Companies
Tourist resorts, dude ranches, tour companies, theme parks, and alpine resorts all need seasonal workers - especially for the busy summer and winter seasons. These employers offer a tremendous variety of jobs, benefits and locations - in fact, you'll find employers in almost every state!
Park Concessionaires
Concessionaires are also private companies, but they operate within national parks. Concessionaires provide services like restaurants, lodges, and gift shops that are not typically managed by the National Park Service. Concessionaires offer outstanding seasonal opportunities and usually provide free or greatly discounted food and lodging.
The U.S. Government
The National Park Service is on of the country's largest employers of seasonal and summer workers. In fact, about 40% of all federal conservation organization employees are seasonal workers, totalling nearly 100,000 positions.
Non-Profit Organizations
These organizations offer great opportunities to work in natural areas, doing anything from planting trees to staffing visitor centers. Many volunteer organizations cover the food and lodging expenses of volunteers, and sometimes even provide a small stipend to cover miscellaneous expenses.
