American Conservation Experience (ACE), a nonprofit Conservation Corps, in partnership with the National Park Service (NPS) and through the Cultural Resources Diversity Internship Program, is seeking a Public History Interpreter interested in dedicating 11 weeks in support of Minute Man National Historical Park in presenting both formal and informal interpretive programs.

Summary

The public history interpreter will be part of the interpretive team, orienting visitors and presenting both formal and informal interpretive programs and opportunities for the visiting public. Interpretation duties involve customer service orientation and public speaking within a safety- preservation framework and will receive training, coaching, and opportunities to develop these skills.

The interpreter will develop their own programs based on their own reading and research, present interpretive programs to the public on a regular basis, work as a member of the interpretive team and post messages about the park story and their work in the park through social media.

Compensation Information

Living Allowance: ACE Member is expected to contribute ~40 hours/week and will receive a living allowance of $520/week to offset the costs of food, and incidental expenses, dispersed bi-weekly. There may also be some additional funds to reimburse relocation expenses.
