Allegheny County Parks Department

“This was an extremely team oriented job, I got to work together with others to build sustainable, multi-use trails for the county parks. It was really helpful to learn how to work together with others in decision making. I also loved being able to work outside all summer. It was extremely satisfying to see the effects of our work. Lots of cool animal sightings! I learned A LOT about plant and insect identification. Our employers were very understanding and helpful, always there when we needed them. ”

“I liked the flexibility of scheduling. I also liked the workplace setting. I was able to make good money over the summer and gain valuable lessons on how to conduct customer service scenarios with patrons.”
