Seasonal Positions

Seasonal positions can be great opportunities for students. We tend to need more people in the summer; some of these jobs are part time and some are full-time. You can earn money while gaining valuable experience and giving back to your community. Applying to college? This will look great on your application!

Per Diem Positions

We also occasionally have openings for year-round per diem employees. These are typically part-time (up to 20 hours a week) positions in administrative, custodial, or park maintenance roles.

We also have many volunteer opportunities.
