"To conserve natural and cultural resources and to provide the public with recreation, inspiration, and educational experiences" - this is the mission of the National Park Service. Indeed, the hundreds of national parks and historic sites throughout the United States provide such opportunities to millions of people each year. The national parks provide an important service to the general public, as well as providing memorable experiences to the tens of thousands of seasonal workers who staff the parks each summer.
Working in a national park can be one of the best summer jobs you'll ever have. All national parks offer incredible opportunities to meet great people, and to become aquatinted with the American landscape. Whether you end up working for the government or for one of the many concessionaire companies, you can't go wrong with a summer job in one of our national parks. Regardless of where you work, the parks are a true national treasure.
