Opportunity Summary:
The Alligator Hill Youth Trail Rehabilitation Crew - SLBE opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) cooperative agreement tied to an existing Master Cooperative Agreement (P16AC00027) between the U.S. Department of the Interior, NPS, and SEEDS, Inc. The purpose is to support youth workforce development while improving park infrastructure and natural resource conditions. It is framed around "green collar" work, meaning hands-on jobs that protect and enhance natural resources while also strengthening communities and building practical career skills that carry into the modern workforce.
Under this task agreement, a small youth crew made up of one crew leader and five youth workers would be hired to complete trail and visitor-area rehabilitation projects in the Alligator Hill area and other locations across the park's trails and campgrounds. The work described includes maintaining and repairing trails and visitor sites, fixing tent pads, and addressing storm-related damage, along with other needed upkeep in recreation areas. Alongside the physical work, the project is designed as a learning experience: participants gain job skills, exposure to conservation and maintenance practices, and a better understanding of how the NPS manages and preserves park resources for public use.
The opportunity also emphasizes local economic impact by employing local youth, which keeps wages and experience-building opportunities in the surrounding community while helping the park address deferred maintenance and storm impacts. The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, signaling that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in guiding or coordinating the work rather than simply issuing a standard grant with minimal federal participation. Unless specifically modified by the task agreement, the general terms and conditions of the master cooperative agreement govern how the project is carried out.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number NOIP16AC00469 and a funding activity category focused on natural resources (CFDA 15.931). The award ceiling is $60,000, with one expected award. The posting was created July 5, 2016, with an original closing date of July 11, 2016. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with additional clarification typically provided in the full eligibility notes; however, the narrative makes clear the work is structured around the existing partnership with SEEDS, Inc. and the established master agreement framework.
