Youth internships available at AMP
This summer, American Memorial Park will once again host the Youth Conservation Corps program and will be accepting applications through May 2, 2017, by close of business.
The Youth Conservation Corps is a well-balanced work-learn-earn program that develops an understanding and appreciation in participating youth of the nation’s environment and heritage. YCC participants will engage in a wide variety of conservation and park operations activities that will teach them about the national park and the National Park Service’s mission to protect special places for all.
The park will hire between two to four youth in the YCC program at the federal minimum wage. The program will run for up to eight weeks, from May 29 to July 21, 2017, with participants working up to 40 hours per week, Monday through Friday. Enrollees must be at least 15 years of age by May 29, 2017, and no older than 18 on July 21, 2017. To apply, applicants must fill out an application and if not 18 years of age, have a parent’s or guardian’s signature. You will only be contacted if you (or your child) have been selected and program participants will be selected at random and participation will be dependent on funding being available.
Applications can be picked up Monday through Friday, from 9am through 4pm, at the American Memorial Park Visitor Center. For directions to the Visitor Center contact park rangers at (670) 234-7207 Ext. 2020. For questions about the YCC program, contact Theo K. Chargualaf at (671) 477-7278 Ext. 1005 or email theo_chargualaf@nps.gov . (NPS)
