Application Due: March 14th, 2026
The Latino Heritage Internship Program seeks to engage young professionals in natural resource careers. Applicants must meet the following additional requirements:
  • Be a U.S. citizen or legal resident
  • Be between the ages of 18 and 30, or up to 35 if a veteran
  • Be willing to undergo a background check upon hiring
  • Have a valid driver's license and a good driving record

Position Description
The Historical and Interpretive Writing Intern's primary duty is to research and synthesize content for the Fort Raleigh website, focused on the Algonquian people, their history, and their interactions with English and Spanish settlers. This includes writing for the park website, park social media, and the NPS App. Through research and writing, the intern will provide the public with new interpretive themes. The content will also serve as the foundation for a new audio tour, replacing the current outdated tour that lacks the breadth of the park's interpretive themes.
The intern will develop a public program focused on the history and culture of the Algonquian people, a topic that has rarely been presented at Fort Raleigh. They will research, engage with, and learn about the Algonquian people to create a unique audience-centered interpretation and build skills in public speaking and presentation. The intern will work with Native American-led organizations to connect Fort Raleigh's interpretive content with broader Indigenous histories of the Outer Banks.
The intern will have opportunities to shadow park staff and community partners to learn more about National Park Service operations and collaborative storytelling. They will attend community events and visit local cultural sites, including the Frisco Native American Museum, to strengthen their interpretive work and understanding of the community.
Responsibilities
  • Research and synthesize historical information related to the Algonquian people, including their history and interactions with English and Spanish settlers
  • Write and develop interpretive content for the Fort Raleigh website, park social media, and the NPS App
  • Create new website articles that introduce and support expanded interpretive themes
  • Develop interpretive content to serve as the foundation for a new park audio tour
  • Design and present a public interpretive program focused on the history and culture of the Algonquian people
  • Apply audience-centered interpretation techniques and build public speaking skills
  • Engage with Native American-led organizations and community partners to inform and strengthen interpretive content
  • Shadow park staff, partners, and community organizations to learn about National Park Service operations and collaborative storytelling
  • Participate in community events and visit local cultural sites, including the Frisco Native American Museum

Qualifications
  • Relevant majors: History, Public History, Anthropology or Cultural Anthropology, Museum Studies or Heritage Studies, Education, Communications or Journalism, English, Literature, Writing, Native American/Indigenous Studies, Ethnic Studies, or related fields
  • Strong interest and ability to communicate with people of all ages and backgrounds in formal public speaking and informal interpersonal settings
  • Creativity and willingness to take initiative
  • Ability to summarize information and write audience-centered content
  • Ability to work collaboratively in a team environment
  • Interest and experience in writing and editing articles or web content
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Microsoft online applications
  • Interest in conducting historical research using primary and secondary sources, with guidance to design original educational and interpretive programs

Learning Goals
Interns will have the opportunity to:
  • Strengthen and expand writing skills across multiple media formats
  • Develop public speaking and communication skills through visitor engagement and public programs
  • Connect with organizations engaged in teaching untold stories in the surrounding community
  • Build research and organizational skills
  • Gain experience working collaboratively as part of a team
