Opportunity Summary:
The "Expand Youth and Community Engagement" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 19 NERO 0010) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary cooperative agreement notice connected to an existing master cooperative agreement between the Department of the Interior/NPS and The Student Conservation Association (SCA) (Master Cooperative Agreement P15AC00031). The overarching purpose of that master agreement is to help build the next generation of conservation leaders and encourage lifelong environmental and community stewardship by placing young people in hands-on service roles that develop outdoor skills and leadership through real-world conservation and public engagement work.
Under this specific task agreement, NPS plans to support a 52-week internship in which an intern will work alongside NPS staff and partners. The intern's duties are centered on public-facing education and engagement, including visitor services and interpretation, delivering education programs, creating social media and web content, and doing community outreach. A major deliverable is the development of a new Junior Ranger program for the site, with the intern's primary project focused on designing new Junior Ranger activities and producing a new Junior Ranger booklet.
Key funding details indicate a single expected award with an award ceiling of $44,385. The activity category is Education and the listed CFDA number is 15.931. Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), reflecting that the work is intended to be carried out through an eligible nonprofit partner rather than individual applicants.
Importantly, this posting is not an open call for proposals. It is a public notice stating NPS's intent to make an award under a previously competed (or otherwise justified single-source) master cooperative agreement, meaning the agency is announcing an intended award action rather than requesting new applications. The notice was created on April 5, 2019, with an original closing date of April 14, 2019, consistent with a short public-notice period rather than a full competitive application window.
