WHY DO WE SHOW EXPIRED LISTINGS?

As a volunteer with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service with access to Federal facilities you would be required to submit to a standard background check prior to beginning work.

We are located in the north-west corner of Vermont on Lake Champlain.  The refuge manages a 6,700 acre birds - foot river detla and it's associated wetland and upland habitats for a variety of wildlife species.  This job is to staff the front desk of the refuge's visitor center from June - September on weekends.  Individuals would be asked to answer the phone and communicate with a variety of visitor's providing relevant information about the refuge, it's trail system and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

The refuge has a trailer pad with electric and sewer hook ups which can be used during the work period.  There is also a small out building with a washer and dryer for use with the trailer pad.  A new water softener has been installed to improve the water quality at the site.   

Vermont is a wonderful place to spend the summer.  This position will provide a great view into one of Vermont's most significant wildlife habitats and an interesting opportunity to connect with visitor's from Vermont, Canada and many other states.  It is a short drive to Vermont's largest city, Burlington which offers an abundnace of cultural opportunities including music and food festivals.  The refuge is also only a 1.5 hour drive to Montreal.
