Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 18 NERO 0074
This notice describes the National Park Service's (NPS) intent to make a single task agreement award under an already existing master cooperative agreement, rather than opening a new competition. In other words, it is not a request for applications from the general public. The NPS is signaling that it plans to fund work through Master Cooperative Agreement P15AC00031, which was previously competed or otherwise justified as a single-source arrangement, between the Department of the Interior/NPS and the Student Conservation Association (SCA). The overall purpose of that master agreement is to help build the next generation of conservation leaders and encourage long-term stewardship by giving young people hands-on service opportunities on public lands, along with outdoor skills and leadership training.
The specific project referenced here focuses on recruiting and training two interns who will spend 24 weeks working alongside NPS staff and community partners. These interns are positioned as both learners and educators: they receive training in public land conservation values, public programming, and environmental education, while also helping deliver and improve educational experiences for the public. The work is centered on the park's Good Neighbors program, which serves urban youth and also engages families, teachers, and community organizers connected to those audiences. A key deliverable is strengthening the educational content surrounding park visits, especially by revising existing post-visit activities and creating new alternatives that supplement the Good Neighbors program. The interns also learn how the program aligns with Massachusetts curriculum expectations, ensuring materials better fit classroom needs.
The public benefit is framed in two ways. First, the interns gain practical, career-relevant experience and training in conservation and education work on public lands. Second, local students and community members benefit directly from interacting with the interns and from improved educational materials and activities. The notice highlights that changes made to the educational components can have a lasting effect, influencing not just current participants but potentially thousands of future students who go through the program.
Administratively, the opportunity is listed as a discretionary cooperative agreement in the employment, labor, and training activity category, under CFDA 15.931. The eligible applicant type shown is a nonprofit with 501(c)(3) status (not a college or university), consistent with the partner organization involved. The funding opportunity is identified as NPS 18 NERO 0074, created July 3, 2018, with an original closing date of July 12, 2018, and it anticipates one award with a ceiling of $46,221. Because this is a public notice of intent to award under an existing agreement, the dates and listing function more as transparency and documentation than as an open application window.Apply for NPS 18 NERO 0074
