North Cascades National Park Service Complex announced today that the park is recruiting for a limited number of positions in this summer’s Youth Conservation Corps (YCC). The enrollees chosen will work with the Building and Utilities Crew based at the Marblemount Ranger Station in Marblemount, Washington. The 2007 YCC Program is non-residential; therefore, enrollees will be responsible for their own housing and daily transportation to Marblemount. The program will operate from June 25through August 18, 2007. The rate of pay is $7.93 per hour. Completed applications must be received no later than 4:30 p.m. on Friday, May 18, 2007, at North Cascades National Park Service Complex, 810 State Route 20, Sedro-Woolley, Washington, 98284-1239, attention: Julie Guyot.

Applicants must have a Social Security card and a birth certificate. Recruitment is happening within the Skagit Valley area only.
