The National Park Service (NPS), through the Youth and Veteran Organizations Conservation Activities program (CFDA 15.931), awarded a $297,060.80 Cooperative Agreement to Conservation Legacy to create the "Stewards of the Future" youth internship program at Pinnacles National Park. Under this agreement, Conservation Legacy will provide administrative, developmental, and logistical support, while the Park will offer service projects, training, and mentorship to a diverse group of local and urban youth interns. The goal is to engage underserved communities surrounding the Park, which have traditionally low visitation, and provide job opportunities that will inspire youth engagement through applied conservation projects. This 18-month project will run from September 2024 to March 2026, delivering hands-on conservation, education, and volunteer service experiences for the youth participants.
