Gap Year in Alaska

Alaska is home to some of the most stunning scenery North America has to offer. Positions in National Parks and places of natural beauty exist across the state. If you are interested in nature, conservation and the great outdoors then this is the destination for you. Volunteering is the best place to start and there are numerous ways to get involved throughout Alaska. The bureau of land management offers 300 volunteer placements annually and the US Forest service has even more. With eight national parks in the state there is plenty of scope for hands on research posts to administrative and educational roles. Most placements offer accommodation and a small stipend.
