Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) project issued under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), focused on debris removal and trail maintenance at Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park in and around Skagway, Alaska. The work is planned across several key park areas: the Skagway Historic District, the Historic Town Site of Dyea, and the Chilkoot Trail. The core idea is to put youth corps crews side-by-side with park staff to complete hands-on conservation and maintenance projects that help protect visitor access, preserve historic landscapes, and address accumulated debris and upkeep needs along trails and park-managed sites.
The announcement is structured as a discretionary cooperative agreement rather than a standard open competition for new applicants. It is explicitly described as a "Notice of Intent to Award" a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement, with ARRA terms and conditions incorporated. In practical terms, this indicates the NPS planned to make a single award by issuing a task agreement to a partner already operating under a cooperative agreement framework with the agency, instead of soliciting broad proposals from the general public. The opportunity emphasizes the youth corps model, where participants gain job training, experiential education, and leadership development while completing conservation-related work that serves public lands.
Funding for the project is set at a fixed amount: an award floor of $20,000 and an award ceiling of $20,000, with the expectation of one award total. Cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the recipient would need to contribute some form of non-federal share (cash or eligible in-kind support, depending on the cooperative agreement terms) to meet the project requirements. The activity aligns with CFDA number 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which is commonly used for projects that pair youth employment and training with tangible stewardship outcomes on public lands.
Eligibility is limited to Public Land Corps or youth corps organizations. The text references the Southeast Alaska Guidance Association/Youth Corps as the type of partner involved, describing its role in providing job training and leadership opportunities to local young people through partnerships with land agency sponsors. This reinforces that the intended recipient is a youth conservation corps entity capable of recruiting and supervising crews, delivering structured training, and coordinating field projects with NPS staff in a way that meets federal requirements and the specific ARRA-related conditions.
Key administrative details show the opportunity was posted on August 24, 2009, created the same day, and had a short closing window ending August 28, 2009, with an archive date of September 27, 2009. The short open period is consistent with a notice of intent to award under an existing agreement rather than a fully competitive grant cycle. The funding opportunity number is NPS ARRANOI9825090459, and the listed NPS contact for access issues or questions was Joy Kucinski, Supervisory Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 907-644-3301.
