Summer Job Opportunity

Applicants are not eligible if they turn 19 prior to the end of the program in August and must be 15 by the starting date in June.

Projects include but are not limited to:

• Nature trail construction and maintenance
• Building, sign and grounds maintenance
• Observation deck and boardwalk maintenance
• Weed control
• Environmental education
• Learn about the different jobs in the Fish and Wildlife Service and the conservation of natural resources

Participants will do hard physical work and may be exposed to insects, poison oak and ivy, adverse weather, and difficult working conditions.  Some jobs may not be fun or may be a bit monotonous, but in the end most past participants have noted that overall they enjoyed the experience and are glad they had the opportunity.

This eight week program pays minimum wage and will start in early June and run through early August. Two young men and two young women will be selected for these positions by a random drawing which will be held in late April.

If selected for the position, the youth must obtain a work permit to participate.
