Summer Jobs, Seasonal Jobs, Internships and Volunteer Work in the U.S. & Abroad

We have a simple philosophy at Backdoorjobs.com:
To energetically connect the right people to your unique job opportunities—quickly and with ease!

With 12 topic-specific work and learn channels (ranging from Adventure Jobs to Work, Volunteer & Intern Abroad), you have the opportunity to highlight your program on the channel of your choice. Meaning, our visitors don't have to go through extensive keyword searches or thumb through link after link to find information about your unique job opportunities. As you've seen from our site, each program gets equal play on each channel—a strategy that provides great results.

Backdoorjobs has been an exceptional site to work with. Michael's friendly interactions well complement his attention to detail, creativity and generosity. We have been very satisfied with the prompt and detailed responses that Backdoorjobs has had while crafting our postings and the site truly allows each individual organization to at once feel highlighted and accessible among peers in the industry. We have had multiple inquiries to our posting from prospective candidates and posting with Backdoorjobs has been a great investment for our organization. Thank you Michael and Backdoorjobs for your excellent service! —Jason Sarouhan, Program Director, Global Routes

Up Arrow HAPPY CAMPERS

Throughout the years Backdoorjobs.com has been the single most effective form of advertisement that has continuously brought us some of the most giving, loving and hard working interns from all over the country. Again I cannot thank you enough; the work you are doing is helping people (not only interns but the recipients of the interns work) beyond what you could ever imagine.
—With respect and appreciation, Maria Lopez, Director, St. Elizabeth Shelter

The Northwest Youth Corps interviews over 500 people to fill its staff positions every year—and large numbers of those applicants have come to us from Backdoorjobs.com (as well as the book). Michael always meets our needs in a very timely manner, and is willing to go the extra mile to help us develop our job announcements in both mediums. It's a no-brainer to continue to advertise with Backdoorjobs.com each year. Thanks for providing such a great service!
—Carrie Copeland, Northwest Youth Corps

I just wanted to let you know that we're very happy with the response to our ad on backdoorjobs.com. We have lots of returning staff this year, so not a lot of positions to fill... but it's nice to have dialed into a way to get our unique opportunity out there. In general, the response has been strongest from the cream of the crop young people that we like to hire! It's a great avenue for us, and I appreciate your work to make the process painless and inexpensive for me.
—Denise VanArtsdale, Glacier Park Boat Company

Thanks so much for the fabulous service provided this season for our farm internship program. Two of our three interns came from Backdoorjobs.com and they have been critical to the success of our farm season thus far. Really, thank you for what you are doing.

I've been placing job ads with numerous organizations, journals and online services for 12 years now and I would rate Backdoorjobs.com as the most responsive, most helpful, and most professional. You have been a pleasure to work with—I'll definitely recommend you to my colleagues.
—Cathy Coster, Outdoors Wisconsin Leadership Synergies

The book you have created has been extremely successful for our staff and crew members. We have developed a resume/job finding workshop based upon the information that is in the book. Staff and crew members use it all the time looking for work after they are done with the VYCC (and a couple of the staff even said it's their bible for looking for exciting jobs)! We not only depend on your website services when it comes to looking for staff but also educating and training our staff that are already on board. Your support on many different levels has been greatly appreciated!
—Gaylen Beatty, Vermont Youth Conservation Corps
