Volunteer wanted to work at this beloved Bay Area lighthouse

(KRON) — If you've ever romanticized the notion of being a lighthouse keeper, this could be your big chance. One of the Bay Area's most iconic lighthouses is looking for a residential volunteer this fall. The historic Point Reyes Lighthouse is seeking a volunteer to fill a position from November through February. The job requires about 30 hours a week of work over a four-day period. Accommodation is included – although not actually at the lighthouse. The volunteer housing is an apartment in a multiplex complex nearby. The volunteer will spend their days at the lighthouse; however, staffing the Lighthouse Visitor Center and helping to 'strengthen the connection with and foster stewardship of Point Reyes National Seashore among park visitors,' according to the job description. 'Helping visitors connect with the park involves facilitating positive experiences by being welcoming and answering questions about the Point Reyes Lighthouse as well as the natural history of the area,' the description reads. Job duties include giving 15-minute talks about the lighthouse's history, selling merchandise, using a point-of-sale system, answering questions and proactively interacting with visitors. Training will be provided along with a partial uniform — shirts, hats, outerwear and a name badge. The volunteer will need to provide their own pants. Living accommodations for the volunteer are a short five-minute walk from the lighthouse. They include heat, water, internet and free laundry. Cable TV is not available, and according to the job posting, the apartments are not rodent-proof. FILE – This July 5, 2003, file photo, shows the Point Reyes National Shore in Point Reyes, Calif.

In addition to intruding into apartments, mice 'may also nest in vehicle engine compartments and chew on wires,' the post reads. 'Ravens have been known to peck at and pull on rubber seals on vehicles.' Pets are not allowed. Weather can also be extreme during the time period the position covers with extreme storms and high winds possible. This can also lead to trees falling, resulting in blackouts when power lines are struck, and access to and from the park being blocked. If this still sounds like it could be a good fit, applications are open now at volunteer.gov.
