Living and working in Yellowstone is not for everyone, but Yellowstone can be the perfect landing spot for those who seek a simpler way of life.
Live in Yellowstone! Seasonal employees have guaranteed on-site housing (shared dorm rooms or RV sites) that includes internet, utilities, and laundry. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the employee cafeterias are provided for one low-cost. Community living gives you the opportunity to develop close, lifelong friendships with people from across the United States and worldwide.

Work for the primary concessionaire in Yellowstone. Learn new skills, develop a strong work ethic, and grow your career. If you decide you want to continue the seasonal lifestyle, we can help you advance in Yellowstone and the Xanterra Travel Collection® family.
Explore 2.2 million acres! Your backyard will be filled with some of the greatest natural wonders in the world. No matter your interest or level of outdoor expertise/knowledge, there is something for everyone here, and we’ll help connect you with the many ways you can discover Yellowstone!
Our most successful team members have several things in common:
Does this sound like you?
Not only can you work at the World’s First National Park, but you can live here as well. In-park housing is provided for all employees!
In Yellowstone, the options for spending money are few and the options for exploration are limitless. We encourage team members to experience all that Yellowstone has to offer:
For employees arriving via bus or plane, we offer transportation from Bozeman, Montana. You are responsible for your transportation to and from Bozeman, MT. Our bus service picks you up and brings you right to Yellowstone for check-in day in Gardiner, MT and again at the end of your agreement. 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.
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.
