One catalog lists campground host positions. Campground hosts live in the campground and assist the ranger with campground maintenance and visitor contact. These positions offer some compensation for the time given. Uniforms, food stipend, and rustic housing are some of the benefits received. These positions are advertised nationally and are very attractive to non-residents.
Volunteers are responsible for their own transportation to Alaska.
Contact the volunteer coordinatior for one or both catalogs of jobs. These people either have specific projects they would like to do or are open to staff suggestions and the need of the park. Some people are there only for a day and others return on a regular basis. Most of these volunteers work as they can, when they can. Past projects have varied from botanical studies of a park to weeding flower beds at a visitor center.
