2010 Volunteer Recruiting Begins Today

(Anchorage, AK) – Alaska State Parks is recruiting campground host and other volunteer positions for the coming summer.  Campground hosts stay in a campground and assist the ranger with visitor contact and maintenance.  Hosts live in their own RV or trailer and the campsite is provided for free. A small stipend is provided if the minimum time commitment is met.

Other volunteer positions include ranger assistant, trail crew, park caretaker and natural history interpreter.  Housing and a small stipend are available if the minimum time commitment is met.  For more information on these full-time volunteer positions, request a 2010 volunteer catalog from the volunteer coordinator at Alaska State Parks, 550 W. 7th Ave, Suite 1380, Anchorage, AK 99501, (907) 269-8708, fax (907) 269-8907, e-mail: dnr.pksvol@alaska.gov us or find it on the internet at http://www.dnr.state.ak.us/parks/vip.
