What We Do

America’s National Parks is a nonprofit partner of the National Park Service (NPS), operating stores at over 175 national park sites. But we’re more than a retailer. Our purpose is to educate the public about the history, landscapes, and cultures that have shaped America. We do this through the products we make and the experiences we create for our visitors. We also support the parks through our aid to the parks program. Since we started in 1947, we’ve provided more than $180 million in aid to the NPS from our retail sales.

Who We Are

America’s National Parks is a people-centric company. We’re down-to-earth, realistic, and supportive, relying on common sense, honesty, and a sense of humor to solve problems and meet goals. We treat each other with respect and want the people we hire to stay with us for a long time. We honor the individuality of each team member, while promoting cooperation, and our team thrives as a result.

We believe our success comes down to five humanistic values: Education; Service; Collaboration; Sharing; and Excellence. These values guide everything we do. Check out our core values.

What We Value

People with an interest in national parks, history, and nature, and a desire to be part of a rewarding tradition promoting and protecting our public lands. People who enjoy learning new things and sharing those learnings with others. Someone who can carefully attend to details, take pride in maintaining an appealing retail space, and are delighted when a visitor leaves with a smile. Most important, a person that embodies our core values with an eagerness to live them out each day.
