Everyday someone like you becomes a wildland wildfire fighter, a teacher, a trail-builder, a museum curator, and a park ranger. And, like you, they were once earning scout badges and preparing for a career. Youth ages 35 and under are invited to discover opportunities in national parks. Come to play. Come to learn. Come to serve. Develop your environmental leadership skills. Find a job. Be the next generation to preserve and protect these great places.
Watch videos created by and about National Park Service youth participants to see our programs in action across the country.
