About this opportunity

The overall mission of the NPS Centennial Volunteer Ambassador Program is to support park units service-wide in expanding volunteerism, service-learning, and community engagement programs and activities to new audiences and communities. The program will allow the NPS to help develop the next generation of lifelong conservation stewards and ensure a skilled and diverse workforce pipeline, through work & training opportunities for young adults and veterans. The program is also designed to inspire young adults and veterans (18-35 years old) from diverse backgrounds who are service focused to aspire for careers of conservation stewardship through exposure to the many difference career and leadership developmental opportunities. NPS will provide the necessary training, career development and education so that program participants can be effective and supported in their role.

SCA will provide support for 115 Centennial Volunteer Ambassadors through recruitment, enrollment, housing, transportation, training, uniform/gear; background check, Risk Management, FICA, and program support.
