GISCorps Volunteer Assisting The Fund for People In Parks

Established in 2014, The Fund for People in Parks (FPP) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to enhancing the visitor experience in western National Parks. By providing private funding, the Fund supports dynamic and creative park leadership by offering professional consulting services that improve access to and enjoyment of each park’s unique cultural, historic, and natural features. Additionally, the Fund collaborates with local park support groups, offering direct grants and consulting services to build their capacity for effective project management. In their role as an official philanthropic fundraising partner of the National Park Service, the Fund focuses on smaller and lesser known parks as well as stories that are often under-told in the Park Service.In order to meet their goals, FPP is requesting the assistance of a seasoned GISCorps volunteer for building a ExB (Experience Builder) web application in ArcGIS Online (AGO). The volunteer will assist in identifying and adding several datasets to the application as well as conducting spatial analysis to identify congressional districts that intersect with national parks and other public lands. Additionally, the volunteer will also train FPP’s representatives in ArcGIS Online (AGO) administration and best practices.

Following the recruitment, Dave Lockney, GISCorps volunteer in North Carolina, USA is selected for this project and is in contact with Funds for People In Parks representatives.

Recruitment complete, project in progress.
