Position Summary:
The National Park Service is recruiting one Interpretation and Education Intern May/June through August/September 2024 for 16 weeks (640-hrs) to welcome and engage visitors to the Bainbridge Island Japanese American Exclusion Memorial.
Overview:
About Northwest Youth Corps (NYC): Northwest Youth Corps was created in 1984 to offer teenagers an education-based, work experience modeled after the historic Civilian Conservation Corps of the 1930s. Today, we serve over 1,000 youth each year across a four-state region who restore critical habitat, build trails, lead volunteers, educate visitors, and respond to local and national disasters.
About the Bainbridge Island Japanese American Exclusion Memorial: The Memorial is a unit of Minidoka National Historic Site that is collaboratively managed by the National Park Service and its partners to commemorate the first population of Japanese Americans forcibly removed from their homes and incarcerated during World War II.
Duties and Responsibilities:
Learn and conduct independent research in the history of Japanese American incarceration during World War II, with particular emphasis on the community of Bainbridge Island. Share this knowledge with visitors through formal and informal tours and the development of original publications, webpages, and content for social media. Work will be performed in collaboration with a Memorial-based National Park Service ranger and community members representing the other partners responsible for the collaborative management of the Memorial. Most of the work is performed outside, and the Memorial’s infrastructure is primitive (e.g., unpaved road, no running water, phone lines, or electricity). Some work will be in collaboration with staff of the Seattle unit of Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park and may involve travel to and around Seattle for training, meetings, and other purposes.
