National Park Service

Description

A competed Cooperative Agreement was previously entered into between the National Park Service, (NPS) and Greening Youth Foundation for the purpose of working with diverse, undeserved and underrepresented children, youth and young adults in an effort to develop and nurture enthusiastic and responsible environmental stewards. This project will provide students the opportunity to connect with the national parks and understand current issues related to resource collections management and conservation in parks. This program will enable students to experience the kinds of real life situations and decisions that national park professionals face in their various fields of study. This agreement will offer the students important and unique career exploration opportunities as NPS will mentor students and help them acquire valuable practical experience and build relationships with professionals and organizations in the media neutral records preservation, to include electronic records – and through management of these archival holdings, the students will learn about other areas of public history and its related fields (including historic preservation, and administrative history research) that those holdings document.
