Nontraditional Partners and Communities

The Division of Partners and Intergovernmental Affairs (DPIA) priorities are consistently and effectively conveyed to nontraditional partners, DPIA capitalizes on opportunities to expand communications and collaborations that benefit nontraditional organizations and communities.  In addition to Service-wide priorities, DPIA communicates program opportunities such as outdoor recreation and education events as well as internship, employment and funding opportunities that are of interest and value to all stakeholders.

Beyond increasing outreach and awareness, DPIA works with national nontraditional partners to increase engagement of nontraditional communities in conservation and others activities taking place in communities across the country.
