Overview

Position Overview:

The individual placements will play a leading role in incorporating information from a new Black History Study and other sources into park brochures, wayside exhibits, digital media, and other programs. Their service will benefit the community and the organization by enriching the visitor experience; helping preserve and present a more complete, balanced, and accurate site history; and enhancing programs to better connect with and engage audiences across a spectrum of generations, backgrounds, and perspectives. The individual placements will collaborate with African American community partners to identify priorities and co-create ways to interpret and share the park’s African American history from that community’s perspective.

The individual placements will help develop new programs, exhibits, digital content, or other products; boost park relevance to and engagement with new, diverse, and younger audiences; and support park efforts to ensure all visitors feel welcome. Their service will help uncover and shine a light on new and lesser-known stories of people and places associated with the site; bring greater dimension and depth to the stories already told by the park; and significantly contribute to the park’s mission to tell the whole story of Cumberland Gap.
