Opportunity Summary:
The Culturally Responsive School Programs opportunity (Funding Announcement Number P12AS10392) is a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it is not an open call for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that the National Park Service (NPS), specifically Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve, plans to fund a specific project with a specific recipient under an allowable justification (505 DM 2.14 (B4)). The intended recipient is Hoonah City Schools, and the total anticipated award amount is $43,010. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal partner (in this case, NPS) in planning and carrying out the work rather than simply issuing a pass-through grant.
At its core, the project is designed to develop and deliver culturally responsive educational programming for students in Hoonah City Schools, with an emphasis on strengthening connections between Native students and their traditional homeland in and around Glacier Bay. The stated goals go beyond standard academic enrichment and focus on fostering academic excellence while also maintaining traditional knowledge, building pride in cultural heritage, developing youth leadership, and reinforcing long-term ties to place. A key theme throughout the project is blending traditional Tlingit ways of knowing with Western educational approaches so students can learn about natural and cultural resources in a way that is both academically rigorous and culturally grounded.
The planned work has three main components. First is the cooperative development of culturally responsive curriculum and related programming. This includes creating learning opportunities where students can engage with specific topics through both traditional and Western frameworks, and it involves practical implementation steps such as contracting for curriculum development, providing staff development and training, and coordinating logistics to ensure partners and community members can shape curriculum themes and activities. The intent is that learning about park resources is not only scientific or historical in a textbook sense, but also connected to what those resources reveal about Tlingit history and identity, helping strengthen youth connections to the Glacier Bay homeland.
Second is a science-based summer camp: a three-day experience intended for roughly 20 middle school students. The camp is structured so students can learn and practice both Western science and traditional knowledge related to the natural and cultural world. NPS staff and specialists such as biologists, anthropologists, and interpreters are expected to work alongside school staff, community Elders, and a range of local and regional partners. Named partners include the City of Hoonah, the Hoonah Indian Association, the Huna Heritage Foundation, the Southeast Alaska Regional Health Consortium (SEARHC), the US Forest Service, and other tribal members. Together, they will provide instruction and mentorship related to resources, stewardship, learning systems, cultural history, and traditions.
Third, the project includes two separate camping and backcountry experiences aimed at deepening students connections to homeland through immersive outdoor learning and leadership development. One is a four-day camping experience in Bartlett Cove, led jointly by Hoonah City Schools and NPS staff, designed to provide natural and cultural resource education along with hands-on stewardship experience. The second is a longer eight-day backcountry experience led by AWARE and NPS staff, with a stronger emphasis on leadership development and healthy relationship skills. Both trips are meant to build group dynamics, strengthen leadership capabilities, and create meaningful connections to place through time in a wilderness setting.
From the source details, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding, with an education activity focus and a CFDA listing of 15.946 (Cultural Resources Management). It anticipates one award, has no cost sharing or matching requirement, and lists an award floor and ceiling both at $43,010, reflecting a fixed planned amount for the identified recipient. The opportunity was posted and created on April 24, 2012, had a closing date of May 20, 2012, and was archived on June 19, 2012. For access issues, the listed contact is Tina Spengler, Contract Specialist, at 907-644-3303.
