Opportunity Summary:
The Youth Engagement, Spring Break Academy opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIGRTE0219) is a National Park Service discretionary funding notice tied to environmental programming and youth involvement on public lands. It is structured as a cooperative agreement and is focused on supporting the NPS Youth Engagement Initiative through a Spring Break Academy effort that spans several national parks. In practical terms, the goal is to fund and organize a Spring Break Academy program that places youth in experiences connected to conservation, stewardship, and public land engagement, using multiple park sites as program locations or partners.
This notice is explicitly labeled "for informational purposes only" because it functions as a Notice of Intent to Award rather than an open call for proposals. The NPS states its intent to issue a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement, specifically to the Student Conservation Association (SCA), for youth involvement related to public lands. The announcement notes that the award was competed using internal NPS procedures, meaning the competitive process occurred within the agency's established mechanisms rather than through a publicly open competition at the time of this posting.
The expected number of awards is one, with an estimated total funding amount of $58,730. No cost sharing or matching is required. The listing is associated with CFDA 15.931, Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations, which aligns the program with youth-focused conservation service and engagement activities. The posting and closing dates indicate a very short public window (posted May 10, 2011; closed May 11, 2011), and the opportunity was archived on May 12, 2011, reinforcing that this was primarily a public notice of an already-determined award pathway rather than a standard open solicitation.
For administrative or access questions about the full announcement, the listed contact is Rhonda Martinez, Contract Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 505-988-6042.
