Employment at Lakeside

Live and work in a Chautauqua community that has been dedicated to the cultural excellence of nurturing mind, body and spirit for more than 135 years.  Lakeside has many venues and activities to discover while working, such as the historic Hotel Lakeside, the 2,600+ seated Hoover Auditorium, 700-foot dock, Orchestra Hall movie theater, hundreds of Victorian cottages and business district with speciality shops and casual dining.  Lakeside is located in a premier setting on the south shore of Lake Erie, half-way between Cleveland and Toledo.  On your days off, visit nearby Cedar Point amusement park, Put-in-Bay, Kelleys Island, Marblehead Lighthouse and other local attractions.

Spend the summer earning money while having fun in the sun. Whether it is seasonal employment, full-time employment or participating in the Lakeside Leadership Academy internship program - we have an employment opportunity for you!
