Opportunity Description: 

Every year, Mount Rainier National Park works with the Student Conservation Association to hire several crews of high school students through the Conservation Leadership Corps program to help with projects throughout the park, usually trail maintenance and repair. These positions typically last 2-4 weeks, with the team spending most of their time camped in the backcountry working on a project. They're a great summer experience, and a great way to get some experience in a natural resource profession!

Hiring for summer crews will not begin until Spring 2010, but make plans now to apply. Pending funding, Mount Rainier National Park hopes to work with at least one Conservation Leadership Corps during summer 2010.
