Why Grand Canyon?

Hear from our National Park Service staff:

"I love my job because in my role, I am helping take care of this special place that has immense meaning to Indigenous and non-Indigenous people. I am able to educate others about why all the things on this earth are important and help people understand the deep meanings of resource management that are not taught in schools and can only be learned at places like the Grand Canyon." Fire Archaeologist in the Science and Resource Management Division

"I serve as a caretaker and steward for the treasures we as the American people value so much. I have great pride in knowing the projects I have been involved with will benefit generations to come." Program Manager for Projects, Environment, and Planning Division

"The expansiveness of the park and diversity of the operation."
Deputy Program Manager of Visitor and Resource Protection Division

"I can convey all of the important messages through my graphic/artistic skills. As a future leader of this wonderful agency, I feel that I will be able to carry out the intentional inclusiveness efforts to recruit diverse candidates."
Visual Information Specialist

"There's something about it that keeps calling us back. We initially were going to go to a different park each year [to volunteer], but the community keeps drawing us back. When we pull into the park, we're home."
North Rim Visitor and Resource Protection Volunteers
