Website National Park Service/NCPE Internship Program

The regions span 106 degrees around the globe and includes more than 60 national park sites within the eight states of California, Hawaii, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, portions of Arizona and Montana and the territories of Guam, American Samoa, as well as the Northern Mariana Islands. With offices in San Francisco, Seattle and Honolulu, the regions work to safeguard our national park treasures for the enjoyment of future generations and to share their stories with more than 61 million visitors each year.

The National Council for Preservation Education (NCPE)’s Internship Program is a partnership with the National Park Service and other Federal agencies with cultural resource protection and public land management responsibilities. The purpose of the program is to accomplish needed and important work on federally protected lands while providing program participants with professional experience in their chosen fields. Interns work under the guidance of agency staff who are subject area experts to carry out the mission of the park.

To be eligible, applicants must be between 18 and 30 years old (or 35 if a veteran) when starting the internship, a college student or recent graduate (within the past 12 months at the time of application), enrolled in a degree-seeking program, and a U.S. citizen or permanent resident.

This position will work with the National Park Service (NPS) Cultural Resources staff to prepare a Cultural Landscape Inventory report for American Memorial Park in Saipan. The project involves historical research using primary and secondary sources, writing historical narratives and existing condition descriptions of the World War II battlefield on Saipan. The report analysis is based on the National Register of Historic Places evaluation process of historic districts. The successful candidate will work closely with NPS staff and NPS partners throughout the process to prepare written narratives, photos, and maps. The position will allow the intern to gain experience with the National Register of Historic Places, cultural landscapes inventory, and federal agency management of cultural resources. The position is remote.

A background security investigation may be required prior to the start date. All NCPE internships accrue 4 hours of PTO for every 80 hours worked.

Qualified NCPE interns who complete their internships may count their position towards earning a Public Land Corps (PLC) Non-Competitive Hiring Authority certificate.  Once earned, the PLC certificate may be used to apply for eligible Federal permanent, temporary, or term positions.
