"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 - including over 100,000 summer and seasonal employees.
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 see what America was like before a Walmart was in every open field. A+ Summer Jobs also offers several park employment videos in the members area, so you can get a first hand look at life as a seasonal ranger or other seasonal worker.
The National Park Service and National Forest Service offer great seasonal jobs, but don't forget that many lodges, resorts and tour companies also operate in national parks. These employers are called "concessionaires" and A+ Summer Jobs profiles dozens of the best companies to work for in the Member Area.
