Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) grant opportunity titled "Interpretation and Education Internship Award Notification" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS WASO P13AC00043) is a cooperative agreement in the community development funding activity category, tied to CFDA 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations." Its core purpose is to support an Interpretation and Education Internship that places an intern within the NPS associate directorate structure to gain hands-on experience across several major functional areas. The internship is meant to develop practical skills and professional training while directly contributing to the delivery of high-quality interpretive and educational services for visitors across the National Park System, including natural, cultural, and historic sites.
The project itself is framed as a comprehensive, cross-program learning and support position. Rather than limiting the intern to a single office function, the internship is structured to provide exposure to and involvement in Interpretation and Education, Cooperating Associations, Evaluations, Partnerships, and Communications. In practical terms, this means the intern is expected to staff and support these program areas, helping the agency strengthen how it communicates park meanings and resources to the public, how it partners with outside organizations, how it evaluates programs and visitor experiences, and how it coordinates with cooperating associations that often support visitor centers and educational programming. The emphasis is on building capacity for public-facing interpretation and education by embedding an intern in the day-to-day work that shapes and improves those programs.
In funding terms, the announcement indicates an estimated total federal funding amount of $20,863, with an award ceiling of $21,000 and no stated award floor. Only one award was expected. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means the recipient is not required to contribute additional non-federal funds as a condition of the award. The opportunity was posted on February 8, 2013, with an original and current closing date of February 18, 2013, and an archive date of March 20, 2013.
Eligibility is listed as nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). However, the key point of this notice is that it is not an open solicitation for applications. The announcement explicitly states it is not a posting for eligibility or for proposal submission; instead, it serves as a public notification of an award intent or award action to the Greening Youth Foundation under an existing cooperative agreement. In other words, it functions more as an award notification than a competitive grant opportunity, signaling that the recipient organization was already identified through a prior agreement mechanism.
