If living and working on a remote roadless island surrounded by the largest freshwater lake in the world appeals to you, consider a volunteer or internship at Isle Royale National Park.

Summer positions are available in the Division of Resource and Visitor Protection, Interpretation and Cultural Resources, Natural Resources, and Maintenance. Work may require travel throughout the park's backcountry, so camping, backpacking, and small boat handling experience is desirable. The time commitment for most of these positions is 12 weeks, full-time (40 hours/week). For position descriptions, click here.

Each year the park hires two Conservation Interns through the Student Conservation Association. These interns serve on the northeast side of the island at the Rock Harbor Visitor Center or on the southwest side at the Windigo Visitor Center.
