NPS Launches Directory of NPS Community Assistance Programs.  See information below.



The National Park Service just launched its Directory of NPS Community Assistance Programs<https://www.nps.gov/getinvolved/community-assistance.htm>.

The 54 programs outlined in the Directory provide funding, technical assistance, and other resources to community groups for historic preservation, investment in historic sites, recreation and improved access to public lands, and education and professional development in and outside national parks.

Community assistance programs of the National Park Service empower local organizations to advance historic preservation and conservation work in rural and urban communities across the United States. These programs serve as economic drivers, transforming underutilized places into community assets that enhance quality of life and boost local economies through tourism and job creation.

The 54 NPS programs in this directory are listed in alphabetical order. Each entry includes the program or service name, description of its purpose, its primary community assistance activities, and weblinks to follow for more  information.
