It should also be noted that there are a few parks, Yellowstone for instance, where staffing positions are mostly run by a private company concessionaire, through which applications must be submitted. This information should be on the park web site, but might not be conspicuous.
It should also be noted that many of those type positions are being filled for the New Year even as we speak. Again taking Yellowstone as an example, Xantera, the concessionaire, fills the coming season in December and January, even though there are essentially none needed until May. At the other end of things, the Forest Service park at which I volunteered last year and have volunteered again this coming season has made no move yet to line up volunteers beyond making note of those of us from last year asked to return who indicated a willingness to do so. The gal who does that tells me she'll send out confirmation emails "sometime after the beginning of the new year.
