Deli Clerk at Rangeley IGA – Rangeley, Maine

Imagine spending your summer in a postcard-perfect mountain town surrounded by crystal-clear lakes, endless forests and the friendliest people in New England. Rangeley IGA, the heart of this beloved Maine community, is looking for energetic Work & Travel USA students to join its deli team as Deli Clerks from summer straight through to the legendary Maine autumn.

What You'll Be Doing

As a Deli Clerk, you'll be at the center of the store's most popular department – where locals and vacationers come for fresh sandwiches, hot meals and famous Maine treats. Your daily duties will include:

• Preparing sandwiches, salads, pizzas and daily hot food specials

Why Rangeley, Maine?

Rangeley is a legendary four-season resort town in western Maine, famous for the sparkling Rangeley Lake, the Appalachian Trail, waterfalls, moose sightings and some of the darkest, most star-filled skies in the eastern United States. In summer you can kayak, paddleboard, swim, hike Bald Mountain and go fishing after your shift. Stay into September and October and you'll witness one of the most spectacular fall foliage displays on the planet – rolling mountains of red, orange and gold.

It's a small, safe and welcoming community where seasonal workers are treated like family, and where you'll practice real conversational English every single day with warm, chatty customers.
