Internship project proposals for the 2020 Future Park Leaders of Emerging Change (FPL) program are being accepted through 5:00 PM ET Friday, October 18.
The FPL program supports paid internships to be conducted by students currently enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate degree program. FPL internships focus on emergent management issues arising from global drivers of environmental change. Proposed projects may address needs associated with the management of natural, cultural, or historic resources, park infrastructure, visitor use, or interpretation and education efforts in a future of novel, rapid, and/or large landscape change.
