Flight 93 National Memorial is looking for two creative, self-motivated and independent professionals to join their interpretive education team of park rangers, memorial partners and volunteers. This is an opportunity to be part of a unique and challenging historic interpretive experience, focusing on the terrorist attack of September 11, 2001 and more specifically, the Flight 93 story during the 25th commemorative observances of this event. This work experience will provide opportunities to contribute as a team member within the interpretation and education program on specific projects.
The Richard J. Guadagno Fellows will serve from approximately April 2026 through November 2026, however the start date is flexible to begin earlier.
About the Fellowship 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 Conservation Fellow experience at Flight 93 National Memorial and another Conservation Fellow at Humboldt Bay National Wildlife Refuge in California annually. This year, two fellowships have been sponsored to support the Memorial.
