Opportunity Summary:

The Centennial Youth Employment Program grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00191) was offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI-NPS) as a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. It falls under the Natural Resources activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.931. The program centers on partnering a youth crew, referred to in the notice as the CCNB crew, with National Park Service maintenance crews to carry out hands-on historic preservation work across the Marin Headlands area within the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA). In practical terms, the project is designed to support preservation and upkeep of historic resources on NPS-managed lands while providing youth with paid employment experience and exposure to conservation and preservation careers in a national park setting.

Funding for this opportunity had an award ceiling of $55,000, and the National Park Service anticipated making a single award. The solicitation was posted on May 23, 2016, created the same day, and had an application closing date of June 6, 2016 (both the original and current closing dates were listed as June 6, 2016). Because it is structured as a cooperative agreement, applicants should expect active involvement by the National Park Service in planning and/or implementing the work, such as coordinating field activities, aligning preservation tasks with park priorities, and integrating the youth crew with NPS maintenance operations.

Eligibility was limited to nonprofits that do not have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education. This means the opportunity targeted specific nonprofit entities (and potentially qualifying higher education institutions) capable of managing a youth employment crew and collaborating closely with NPS staff. Overall, the grant is essentially a small, focused partnership to deliver historic preservation outcomes in the Marin Headlands while advancing youth employment and workforce development goals connected to public lands stewardship.
