Opportunity Information: Apply for P15AS00001

The Youth Engagement and Development grant opportunity by the National Park Service (NPS) intends to award $500,000 to the YMCA of the USA for a new cooperative agreement aimed at fostering youth involvement in conservation efforts. This initiative seeks to engage young people aged 6 to 35 through recreational, educational, and volunteer opportunities in national parks and related areas over a five-year period.

The partnership between the YMCA and NPS is designed to develop programs that inspire youth to explore and take care of natural and cultural resources. The YMCA will create activation programs, align its activities with NPS goals, and provide local YMCAs with the tools to integrate relevant curricula into summer camps and other programs. Additionally, they will promote these opportunities through marketing and provide NPS with a report summarizing outcomes and best practices.

NPS will actively collaborate by offering financial support, educational resources, and helping promote the camp programs. They plan to leverage the YMCA's extensive network, which includes over 2,700 local chapters serving millions, to reach a significant number of youth.

The grant is being awarded without competition due to the unique qualifications of the YMCA, which has a long-standing history of youth engagement and a capacity to serve large numbers in a structured way. The authority for this funding comes from various U.S. codes that allow NPS to enter cooperative agreements for the purpose of public service and resource conservation.
