Assistant Volunteer Coordinator

Denali National Park and Preserve hosts the largest volunteer program in Alaska, and we need your help! With over 500 individual volunteers each year who donate in excess of 65,000 hours of service, there’s a lot of work to do behind the scenes. Join us to support volunteers in this spectacular location.

In addition, the Denali National Park Volunteer Office also serves as the Alaska Region Volunteer Program Office. We assist, serve and advise the other 14 volunteer program managers at National Park Service sites in the state which have volunteer programs.

We need to process personnel paperwork, welcome and orient volunteers, respond to inquiries, support volunteer supervisors, plan large events, celebrate volunteer accomplishments, help with the program’s digital and online presence, assist with US and intra-park mail delivery and pick up, and assist visitors at the Savage River area, performing informal wildlife education and disseminating park and area information.

This is a dual position, an office position two days per week and two days in the field per week.

Housing is either a shared cabin or an RV/trailer site with full hook-ups (electricity, water, sewage and propane), depending on which is available at the time of hire. Some funds for reimbursement to help defray the cost of traveling to Denali are authorized, amount is dependent upon length of stay.
