Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00079
The 2019 NPS Academy Youth, Interpretation and Education Internships grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00079) is a National Park Service cooperative agreement designed to support youth engagement and public education work at several National Park Service sites in Alaska. The project centers on placing three seasonal interns through the NPS Academy program, in partnership with the Student Conservation Association (SCA), to strengthen interpretation and education capacity during Alaska's busiest visitor season. The intent is practical and field-focused: parks receive additional staff support at the time of year when demand for visitor services and programming is highest, while interns receive structured, career-relevant experience inside the NPS system.
The internships are planned for a 12-week period during the peak field season, roughly May through August. Interns are to be placed at three specific locations: Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park, Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve, and the Alaska Public Lands Information Center. Across these sites, the interns would work alongside Park Service staff on core interpretation and education functions. That includes delivering interpretive programs that help visitors better understand park resources and stories, increasing community connections to the parks, and helping provide educational opportunities for visitors and local residents, including youth. Another day-to-day element of the roles is direct visitor contact, such as staffing information services and answering questions, which supports both visitor satisfaction and public understanding of park purpose, rules, and opportunities.
A major outcome emphasized in the description is workforce development. Beyond completing useful work for the parks, the internships are meant to expose young adults to different National Park Service career paths and build transferable professional skills. In practice, that typically means learning how public-facing programs are planned and delivered, gaining confidence in communication and public speaking, developing customer service and visitor engagement skills, and getting experience working within federal land management operations and standards. The design is intentionally developmental: interns contribute meaningful capacity while also being mentored and gaining insight into how NPS careers and park programs function.
Administratively, this opportunity is categorized as discretionary and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, under the Department of the Interior, National Park Service.
