Discover the National Parks- 
From the Inside
If you’ve ever wanted to get an insider’s view of America’s scenic and historic national parks, an exciting new program at Western Dakota Tech can help you make it happen.
We’ve partnered with the National Park Service (NPS) to create a unique learning experience for plus 50 adults—and even help you develop the skills you need to become a park volunteer or seasonal employee.
Western Dakota Tech and the National Park Service have created the perfect way for you to apply your skills, interests, and experience in our National Park Service areas.
In just six informative sessions you will learn about:
- The Rich NPS history and attractions in your own backyard
- Day-to-day operations at the local national parks
- How to prepare and present interpretive talks to park guests
- Employment and volunteer opportunities within the NPS
Students of the program will be trained in both the classroom and at area parks—and have the chance to interact with park superintendents and staff.
Think about it. You can rediscover our wonderful National Park Service areas while helping visitors develop a passion for the places you already love:
- Badlands National Park
- Jewel Cave National Monument
- Minuteman Missile National Historic Site
- Mount Rushmore National Memorial
- Wind Cave National Park
As they have for decades, the Greatest Generation and Baby Boomers now approaching traditional retirement age want to define life after 50 on their own terms. They want to stay active and involved, and many want to continue to work.
The Plus50 program is designed to do exactly that. It can bring new meaning to your retirement. It might even change your life.
