A current notice names this place and says how to apply.
What we found: The spring 2027 notice recruits for visitor-centre and gift-shop service, light maintenance and optional education. Two RV pads are described near Lake Phelps, about twenty miles from the Columbia visitor centre, so the living site is not beside the desk. Full hookups and laundry are documented. Each member of a couple must serve 24 hours weekly, or a solo 32, with possible weekend work. The February recruitment deadline remains ahead of the research date.
