Duties Description Why Is This Job Important? / ¿Por qué es importante este trabajo?

At New York State Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation our mission is to provide safe and enjoyable recreational and interpretive opportunities for all visitors. A part of that mission is to seek out opportunities to increase and enhance programs that serve a diverse audience, including those for whom English is a second language.

Our locations within the Palisades Region receive approximately 2 million visitors per year at their beaches, campgrounds, trails, and other locations. Many of these visitors, particularly at Lake Welch, speak Spanish as a primary language, but there are currently no programs provided in Spanish in the park.

Be the first to help develop and implement a new, inclusive environmental education program at Bear Mountain and Lake Welch for Spanish-speaking visitors!
