HIGHLIGHTS
» The NPS Youth Programs Division engages youth between the ages of five and 24 in various programs of NPS in the development of a life-long commitment to support national parks and protect the natural environment and cultural heritage. At present, there are more than 25 youth programs operating throughout the National Park System, including the Youth Conservation Corps, Student Conservation Association, Historically Black Colleges & Universities Internship, Hands-On Preservation Experience Program in partnership with the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and Latino Heritage Internship Program in partnership with the Hispanic Access Foundation. » In 2021 and 2022, USFS and the ACHP facilitated the Cultural Heritage in the Forest program, which seeks to create opportunities for students from HBCUs to move into careers with the USFS and promote diversity in historic preservation and related fields. This program is described in greater detail in a Case Study on page 88.
