Community Volunteer Ambassadors: Recruiting paid interns for Winter 2024 Cohort

The Volunteers-In-Parks Program is now recruiting paid interns for the Winter 2024 cohort of the Community Volunteer Ambassador program!

Community Volunteers work alongside park staff and volunteers in their community.

The Volunteers-In-Parks Program is now recruiting for the Winter 2024 cohort of the Community Volunteer Ambassador program! As a forty-eight-week professional internship, the Community Volunteer Ambassador program is managed in partnership between the National Park Service Volunteers-In-Parks program and the Stewards Individual Placement Program of Conservation Legacy.
For the Winter cohort, we are excited to have young adults (ages 18-30 or 18-35 if veterans) from diverse backgrounds who aspire to a future career in service and conservation stewardship head to forty-six national park sites.

Through this unique program, interns are placed in park sites throughout the country to provide capacity-building services focused on connecting communities to parks through engagement and volunteerism activities. Upon completion of their term of service, participants will be eligible for the Public Land Corps hiring authority and the AmeriCorps Segal education award.

Do you know someone interested in advancing equity and inclusion, conservation, and community organizing? Do you know someone who loves the National Park Service and wants more people to get engaged in its mission? Help us spread the word and encourage them to apply to the Community Volunteer Ambassador program!
