Experienced Workers Support Services Activities

 

The Experienced Workers Program (EWP) will provide support to the NPS on natural and cultural resource conservation projects that enable the agency to carry out its mission. Special emphasis will be placed on projects that improve the maintenance of our national park resources and enhance the visitor experience. EWP participants will provide technical assistance and support to the NPS in the development and execution of projects that benefit the general public and provide support to NPS employees. This program will provide opportunities to qualified individuals 55 years of age and older, who have specific technical skills and abilities not available or underrepresented at current NPS staffing levels. The EWP participants will not replace or displace current NPS employees.
