Ideal Candidate

Our most successful team members have several things in common:

Getting Here and Getting Around

For employees arriving via bus or plane, we offer transportation from Bozeman, Montana.

Once at your new home, everything you need is located within walking distance (housing, meals, recreation halls, and your workplace). A personal vehicle is not necessary, though it helps to access the park and surrounding areas during your off time.

For Fun

A job in Yellowstone is special partly because of the lifestyle it provides. Our employees have opportunities to hike, bike, climb, camp, and explore 2.2 million acres in the world’s first national park. Most visitors just get to spend a few days here. Come work with us and you’ll get to spend months here.

The Yellowstone Co-Op Employee Recreation Program (YCERP) is the largest and most diverse employee recreation program in any national park. We aim to keep you as busy as you'd like. Hiking, biking, fishing, photography, camping, wildlife watching, taking in an educational program, joining in a film series, sports competitions, talent shows, and more ...... it's a non-stop adventure in Yellowstone!

The park is rustic and remote. Because of that, we have fewer of the conveniences you may be used to. The closest “large” cities are two or more hours away and include Cody or Jackson Wyoming, Livingston, Bozeman or Red Lodge Montana and Idaho Falls, Idaho.
