Chaco Culture NHP is Accepting Applications for Two Internships
Chaco Culture National Historical Park will begin accepting applications for two internship positions. The selected applicants will work two separate three month appointments from November 1, 2018 through January 31, 2019 and February 1, 2019 through April 30, 2019. These internships are being funded by the Friends of Chaco. Applicants will need to identify the three month appointment of their preference. Each intern will receive housing, a uniform allowance, and a $150 a week stipend. Please note that the interns are not Friends of Chaco employees; stipends are awards rather than wages. Taxes are not withheld, nor are social security contributions made on your behalf. These funds may be taxable, however, so consult a tax preparation professional if you have questions.
The park is seeking applications from Native youths. The candidates must have high school diploma.  The intern’s primary role will be with the interpretation division. Duties will include fee collection and interpretive program development. The intern will also help the park look for opportunities to reach Native communities either through park based or outreach programs.
Upon completion of the internship, the candidate will be required to present a synopsis of their experience to youth groups within their own community. This could include a power point or other type of multi-media public presentation. We hope that our interns will serve as role models for the youth in their community, while helping other Native youth appreciate and understand the importance of the Chaco Culture NHP and the entire National Park Service. 
To apply, interns must submit a resume and cover letter by email directly to Hilary Grabowska at [log in to unmask] Applicants can also send their materials to Chaco Culture NHP, ATTN: Friends of Chaco Internship, PO Box 220, Nageezi NM 87037. Applications must be received by July 31, 2018. The selected candidate must pass a federal background investigation. The candidate will be required to work weekends and holidays. The park is closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas Day, and New Year’s Day. The intern must possess a valid driver’s license. Having a personal vehicle is not required but highly recommended. If you have any questions please contact Hilary Grabowska at 505 786-7014 ext. 261 or Nathan Hatfield at 505 786-7014 ext. 263.
