ORGANIZATION: National Park Service

Attention Writers!


The Brown v. Board of Education NHP could use your help educating the public on the impact from one of the most pivotal U.S. Supreme Court decisions in our country's history.


The Brown v. Board of Education decision is far more complex than a little girl whose parents sued to get her into an all-white school. This landmark victory for equality was decades in the making. Attorneys, parents, scientists, activists, and students struggled to steer the nation toward justice. After the decision, and even today, there is more work to be done by everyday citizens with a common goal -- equality.


We have several articles and presentations highlighting the importance and impact of the historic figures, places, and events surrounding the Brown v. Board decision that we are always seeking to improve. There are also so many more stories that we would love to tell the public about!


Help us edit, rewrite, or create historical, profile, informational, and general features explaining the context, methods, and impacts of the Brown Decision. Ensure written materials are clear, concise, informative and meet recommended Flesch Reading Ease scores for different audiences.


This volunteer position will report to the Volunteers-in-Parks program manager at the Brown v. Board NHP and primarily work on a project-by-project basis. This is a virtual position; Volunteers will be expected to perform work on their own equipment and collaborate through phone or email.
