2025 Summer Interpretation and Visitor Service Internships
Eisenhower National Historic Site is accepting applications for interested candidates to apply for internships for the Summer 2025 season. Interested candidates should apply by January 15, 2025. These internships take place between late May and early August and include interpretation positions.
Interpretation interns give house tours of the Eisenhower home, provide visitor services, and present other interpretive programming they have researched and prepared. Interns also have the opportunity to work on special projects involving social media and 21st Century public history interpretation. Eisenhower National Historic Site’s interpretive programming includes political, cultural, social, and military history topics relating to the lives of Dwight and Mamie Eisenhower and the eras in which they lived. We are always looking for how we can best use our historic resources and stories to be part of conversations that are happening today about our society and world.
Summer Interns work a 40-hour week (interpretation interns should expect to work weekends) with formal and informal on-the-job training provided. The internships are not paid, but dormitory-style housing and a living stipend of ($2000) are provided. These stipends are courtesy of our partners with the Dwight D. Eisenhower Society.
Students who have completed at least one year of college and are working toward degrees in history, political science, museum studies, park management, education, graphic design or related fields are welcome to apply. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis.
For questions and to submit your application please email us at eise_education@nps.gov. To apply, email your resume with two professional references and a cover letter explaining your interest.
