The Bureau of Land Management is seeking seasonal volunteer hosts for several recreation sites in Oregon and Washington.

A BLM release said hosts will help connect visitors to public lands during a milestone year as the nation celebrates its 250th anniversary, and the BLM celebrates its 80th anniversary.

Campground hosts offer information about recreation opportunities, answer questions about the area, and help ensure campgrounds remain clean and safe. Light maintenance tasks – such as tidying up restrooms, collecting trash, and keeping signs and information boards up to date – are part of the daily routine.

This is a live-in volunteer position, and hosts must provide their own self-container RV. Volunteers may be eligible to receive a daily per diem reimbursement while serving on site.

Season lengths and schedules vary by location, with most positions running from late spring through early fall. All volunteer campground hosts must complete a federal background check.
