Appalachian Trail Conservancy - 2020 Trail Crew staff

Highly qualified seasonal Crew Leaders, Assistant Crew Leaders, Camp Coordinators, and other trail crew staff are recruited each year to support and lead volunteer Trail crews that complete routine Trail maintenance, major rehabilitation/repair, and Trail relocation projects. They may be hired and managed by ATC or by its affiliated clubs or agencies. Applicants must demonstrate responsibility, initiative, and self-motivation. They must be able to work both independently with minimal supervision and cooperatively as a member of a team. Crew staff applicants should demonstrate the interest and ability to contribute to the public-service effort of working on a National Scenic Trail and to promote volunteerism and membership in ATC and its club affiliates.

All positions are seasonal and vary in length. Wages vary according to positions and individual qualifications. The pay is competitive, and some positions include room and board. Crew staff may be able to extend their employment by working for more than one crew. Those interested will need to interview with the manager of each crew. See position descriptions for details.
