Opportunity Summary:
The Olympic and Mount Rainier National Parks Youth Conservation Corps Crews grant (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00053) is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI-NPS) intended to stand up youth conservation corps crews to support on-the-ground work in two flagship Washington parks: Olympic National Park and Mount Rainier National Park. The central purpose is straightforward and practical: fund crews that will carry out routine trail maintenance across each park's trail system, with the day-to-day work coordinated and supported by the existing trail programs inside the respective parks. In other words, the award is meant to put youth crews into the field doing the recurring maintenance tasks that keep trails safe, passable, and sustainable, while integrating those crews into the parks' established trail operations.
The funding is provided through a cooperative agreement, which typically means the National Park Service expects to be substantially involved in implementation rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The announcement anticipates two awards in total, aligning with the two parks, and sets an award ceiling of $300,000. The opportunity was created and posted on February 26, 2016, and the application deadline was April 26, 2016 (the original and current closing dates are the same). The activity aligns with multiple public-interest categories, including education, employment and training, environment, and natural resources, and it is listed under CFDA 15.931.
Eligible applicants include state governments, county governments, and city or township governments, as well as nonprofits that do not have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS (and are not institutions of higher education). The funded work focuses on routine trail maintenance within the trail systems of Olympic and Mount Rainier, with the implication that crews will be managed in close coordination with park staff and will contribute directly to ongoing stewardship needs while also providing youth with conservation, workforce, and public-lands experience.
