INDIANA DUNES NATIONAL PARK: Indiana Dunes National Park has jobs for five teenagers this summer. The Youth Conservation Corps (YCC) program is a work-learn-earn program for 15-18 year-olds. Deadline to apply is April 30, 2024.
Participants are paid $7.25 an hour for the 40-hour work week. The program runs from June 2 to August 10, 2024, and applicants should be prepared to work the entire length of the program. Youth jobs include working as part of a crew to do a variety of manual labor tasks, normally outdoors. The crews will be involved primarily in outside, labor-type activities that may include mowing grass, picking up trash, cleaning restrooms, grounds keeping and light trail maintenance.
No experience is necessary. Participants will be selected by random draw from the pool of applications.
To be eligible participants must be U.S. citizens and 15 years old before June 2, 2024, but not turn 19 years old before August 10, 2024, the ending date of the program. The YCC application form is available through high school guidance offices or from the Indiana Dunes National Park Office at 219-395-1772. The forms are also available on the national park website.
