Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00109
The Next Generation Ranger Corps Program, established through a cooperative agreement between the National Park Service (NPS) and Friends of Saguaro National Park (FOSNP), aims to create youth employment opportunities focused on natural resource management in Southern Arizona. The program is designed to recruit and manage local youth interns from Tucson and nearby areas to work in national parks, providing them with paid internships that promote skills development and career readiness.
Participants, known as NextGen Rangers, will engage in various park management activities, gaining hands-on experience and life skills such as resume building, public speaking, and community engagement. They will work on conservation projects, including invasive species management and resource surveys, while learning about different career paths within the NPS. The initiative particularly focuses on involving youth from underrepresented backgrounds, allowing them to explore opportunities they might not have considered.
FOSNP will oversee the recruitment of ten local interns, ensuring they receive necessary training and support. Interns will be compensated based on their age and experience, with opportunities for advancement and cross-training in various natural resource management roles. A mentor, Don Swann, will guide the interns, facilitating experiential learning and participation in community conservation efforts.
The program also adheres to NPS regulations and aims to improve public knowledge of natural resources while fostering a sense of stewardship among participants. In summary, this grant opportunity seeks to empower youth through meaningful work experiences in national parks, helping alleviate poverty and promoting professional development in environmental stewardship.Apply for P17AS00109
