The project assesses the sense of community at Glacier National Park (GNP) and provides recommendations to strengthen it. Sense of community emerges from employee perception determined by interviews and surveys. There are five different sub-communities with different senses of community. Some communities are stronger than others. This outcome appears to be a function of community remoteness and relatively small size. Employees reported both problems and solutions. These problems and solutions led to the project’s six recommendations to help strengthen the Park community: create consistent training for Employee Leads, transition online meetings and training to in-person, host more frequent events, increase advertisement of events, create an informal communal space, and guarantee adequate housing.
