National Park Service Youth Programs

The National Park Service Youth Programs offer opportunities for young people to engage with and learn about America’s natural and cultural heritage. These programs include internships, apprenticeships, and volunteer initiatives that provide hands-on experiences in conservation, history, and park management. They aim to develop skills, foster environmental stewardship, and inspire future leaders by connecting youth with national parks and related resources. Participants gain valuable work experience, education, and a deeper appreciation for preservation efforts, supporting the NPS’s mission to protect and share the country's natural and cultural treasures for generations to come.
