Join one of the many youth and young adult employment or volunteer partnerships and have the experience of a lifetime! It is a chance to learn about careers with the National Park Service, meet and work with other young adults and professionals, carry out projects that protect, restore and maintain our public lands and historic landmarks, gain leadership skills, and become intimately connected to the beauty and diversity found in our national parks.

Find out about the exciting employment and volunteer opportunities the National Park Service offers to help you and your friends learn more about the cultural and historical significance of national parks....and discover new things!
