Historic Interpretation: Flight 93 National Memorial Intern
Flight 93 National Memorial honors the passengers and crew members of Flight 93. Richard J. Guadagno was a passenger on United Flight 93 on September 11, 2001. His love for animals and the outdoors, led him to a career as a biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, dedicating his life to protecting the environment. After graduating from Rutgers University, he worked for seventeen years in refuges in New Jersey, Delaware, Oregon, and finally, Humboldt Bay National Wildlife Refuge in northern California where he was a Project Manager. In Richard’s memory, the Guadagno family sponsors one exceptional candidate to continue their career aspirations through the Richard J. Guadagno Fellow experience at Flight 93 National Memorial and another Fellow at Humboldt Bay National Wildlife Refuge in California annually.
Flight 93 National Memorial is looking for a creative, self-motivated young professional to serve as an SCA Fellow with the interpretive education team. This is an opportunity to be part of a unique and challenging historic interpretation experience. The memorial interprets the stories of Flight 93 and the September 11, 2001, attacks. Average yearly visitation is approximately 386,000.
The Richard J. Guadagno Fellow will serve from approximately April through November 2018 but start date is flexible. Ideal candidates will have experience with education and building curriculum, strong customer service skills, and a desire to learn the art of interpretation. The intensity and immediacy of the subject matter and high volume of visitors requires strong listening skills, the ability to multitask, and to professionally and compassionately communicate difficult subject matter with diverse audiences and manage large groups. The position will require long periods of time outdoors and standing/walking for extended periods of time.
Duties include but are not limited to:
5/29/18- 11/10/18
