The Cultural Resources Office of Interpretation and Education (CROIE) promotes inclusive historic preservation and diversity in the cultural resources workforce through youth program internships. We promote relevance, diversity and inclusion in interpretation and education about cultural resources.
Youth Programs
CROIE administers internship programs that provide work experience with NPS units, programs, and other federal agencies. Interns' work varies from historical research and surveys for National Register documentation to archeological investigations, records, archives, and museum management. Paid internships are located across the country and are offered year round.

Education
We offer tools for educators of all levels and students of all ages to teach and learn about history, historic preservation, and American heritage and culture. Our peer-reviewed lesson plans offer teachers in the classroom or at historic sites creative ways to meet their own curriculum standards while introducing students to important places, stories, and methods of historical investigation. Our heritage and history travel itineraries connect tourists and history enthusiasts with sites on the National Register of Historic Places, organized in meaningful geographic and thematic contexts.
