More Than A Job
Join the team this summer!  Apply here.

You’ll get soaked at the pool, dry off in the sun, hit up the playground, run around at the gym, eat pizza and scarf down your fill of ice cream. Better yet, you’ll make new friends, maybe even for a lifetime. ⠀
Working for NSSRA is more than a job. We’ll pay you to play, yes, but we’re pretty confident you’ll close the summer with some of the best experiences of your life.
