BC Parks within the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy has created the 2018-2019 BC Parks Student Ranger Program to promote outdoor youth employment opportunities across the province. Students studying and/or interested in pursuing future studies or employment in a related field are encouraged to apply.

Applications are now being accepted for student ranger crew member and student ranger crew lead positions. The competitions close on February 24, 2019.

For the 2019 season, 12 crews of four student rangers will work in regions throughout the province, including Prince George, Fort St. John, Terrace, Bella Coola, Williams Lake, Manning Park, Cranbrook, Kamloops, Victoria (Goldstream Provincial Park), Black Creek (Miracle Beach Provincial Park), North Vancouver (Mount Seymour Provincial Park) and Sechelt (Porpoise Bay Provincial Park). Crew lead positions begin May 13 and crew members begin May 26, wrapping on August 30.

The Student Ranger Program has been made possible by funding from the BC Parks Licence Plate Program and a 50% wage-match from the Federal Government's Summer Work Experience - Green Jobs in Green Spaces Work Experience Program. BC Parks would further like to recognize the contributions of its partners Project Learning Tree Canada and Canadian Parks Council.
