Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Implementation of Natural Resource Projects at Lake Mead NRA using American Conservation Experience Youth Work Crews" (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00046) is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI-NPS). It is offered as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources funding activity category (CFDA 15.931). The opportunity was posted on February 4, 2016, created the same day, and closed on March 4, 2016.
At its core, the task agreement is designed to place youth into hands-on conservation work at Lake Mead National Recreation Area while pairing that field experience with environmental education and stewardship. The intent is twofold: first, to implement natural resource projects within National Park Service units, and second, to use those projects as structured learning and workforce development experiences for young people. The program emphasizes practical training in conservation project implementation, meaning participants are expected to gain real exposure to how on-the-ground natural resource work is planned and carried out in a national park setting. Alongside the work itself, the opportunity stresses shared environmental education, aiming to build understanding of environmental issues and strengthen a stewardship mindset through direct service.
Funding for this opportunity has an award ceiling of $53,500, with the National Park Service expecting to make one award. Eligibility is limited to nonprofits that do not have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education, which signals that the program is oriented toward specific partner organizations capable of deploying and supervising youth work crews, such as service and conservation corps-style entities. Overall, the opportunity reflects a workforce-and-stewardship approach to resource management: completing needed natural resource projects at Lake Mead while creating paid or work-based opportunities that help youth learn, build skills, and connect their employment experience to conservation outcomes.
