Paid Internships in Humanities: History, Architecture, Archeology/Anthropology, Communications, Cultural Resources, Conservation, and More
The National Council for Preservation Education (N C P E) offers paid internships in partnership with the U.S. National Park Service. Interns work at NPS sites - National Parks, National Monuments, National Historic Sites, and more - and at other Federal agencies protecting cultural properties across the U.S.
Interns work under the guidance and supervision of NPS staff, experts in their respective fields. Their mentorship and the opportunity to connect with other NPS professionals are features of this program. Our goal is to offer work experience, career exploration, professional development, and networking opportunities to undergraduate and graduate students and recent alumni who graduated within 12 months at the time of application.
These internships are for the Summer of 2023. Students are encouraged to apply if they have coursework and/or experience with museums, cataloging, and collections management; historic preservation and cultural resource management; architecture and landscape architecture; GIS and geography; library science and archives; media studies and communication; archeology and anthropology; tribal and ethnographic studies; history (American, indigenous peoples, African American, Chicano, other); environmental science; and allied fields.
