Opportunity Summary:
The Andersonville National Historic Site Interns opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P15AS00385) is a National Park Service discretionary funding notice describing a planned cooperative agreement focused on education and hands-on workforce training at Andersonville National Historic Site. The core purpose of the project is to place participants in practical, field-based learning activities tied to National Park Service maintenance work, with a strong emphasis on resource stewardship and cemetery preservation. Training areas highlighted in the notice include exotic and invasive species management, grave restoration, and headstone alignment within the National Cemetery, giving participants direct experience with day-to-day preservation and grounds work carried out in a national park setting.
This opportunity is categorized under the Education funding activity category and is listed under CFDA 15.931, Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations, signaling that it aligns with youth conservation and service-style programs that build skills while supporting public land management needs. The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically indicates that the agency expects to be substantially involved in the project’s implementation (for example, through collaboration on work plans, oversight, training requirements, or coordination with site staff).
In terms of funding, the notice lists an estimated total of $65,640, with an award ceiling of $65,640 and an award floor of $0, and it anticipates one award. Cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute resources toward the project (such as cash, in-kind support, or other allowable match) in accordance with the agreement terms.
