Opportunity Summary:
Outdoor Nation is a National Park Service (NPS) Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance program project built around a partnership with the Outdoor Foundation and a broader coalition of public, private, and nonprofit organizations. The central purpose is to bring more young adults into outdoor recreation and conservation, not just as participants but as leaders. The initiative is framed as a cross-sector effort meant to strengthen how recreation and conservation organizations work, improve relationships across government, nonprofit, and business partners, and create more meaningful pathways for young people nationwide to engage in outdoor spaces and conservation work.

The announcement emphasizes that the success of Outdoor Nation depends on smooth, ongoing collaboration between NPS, the Outdoor Foundation, and other partners to implement programs that serve public needs.
