National Park Service Mission: The National Park Service preserves unimpaired the natural and cultural resources and values of the National Park System for the enjoyment, education, and inspiration of this and future generations. The NPS cooperates with partners to extend the benefits of natural and cultural resource conservation and outdoor recreation throughout this country and the world. NPS operates programs that extend throughout the nation, including the Hydropower Assistance Program, Wild and Scenic Rivers Program, and RTCA, managed through the Washington DC Headquarters Office.

The NPS Hydropower Assistance Program supports parks and designated areas nationwide. This fellowship focuses on developing and managing geospatial tools, outreach and communication products, and guidance documents to benefit communities and the environment. The fellow will work with NPS hydropower staff to manage the hydropower database, develop an annual report, update a story map, and create other communication products illustrating the program’s accomplishments.

The fellow will also engage in research and analysis to inform tools and guidance for staff and partners related to recreation and conservation in FERC proceedings, supporting protection of rivers and outdoor recreation near hydropower projects.
