Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00828
Engaging Young Adults with Community-Based Conservation and Recreation Opportunities (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00828) is a National Park Service cooperative agreement issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior to support hands-on conservation and recreation-related work by young adult interns at National Capital Parks-East. The notice was created on September 14, 2017, with an original closing date of September 20, 2017, and it is specifically described as a public notice of NPS intent to fund project activities without competition, meaning it is not an open call for applications.
The opportunity is categorized as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement, which typically signals substantial involvement by the federal agency in carrying out the project. The activity focus falls under Employment, Labor and Training (CFDA 15.921), reflecting that the work is structured around intern engagement, workforce development, and practical skill-building while completing needed park projects.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The NPS anticipated making one award, with a maximum funding amount (award ceiling) of $80,000. In practice, this structure suggests NPS planned to partner with a specific qualified nonprofit to recruit, support, and manage the internship placements while NPS staff provide direction, oversight, and coordination to ensure the work aligns with park needs and compliance requirements.
The core purpose of the funded work is to address backlog maintenance and resource management needs at National Capital Parks-East through three interns assigned to a set of landscape renovation and compliance support tasks. The interns are expected to produce scaled drawings for landscape renovations, including concept drawings as well as plan and elevation views. They will also develop the technical documentation needed to move projects forward, such as planting plans, hardscape and material specifications, measurements, and grading plans as needed, along with drafting scopes of work for all three projects. Beyond design and planning deliverables, the interns will conduct permit monitoring and assist the park Cultural Resource Manager with compliance-related duties, indicating that the work will intersect with cultural resource protection requirements and project documentation standards typical for work conducted on federal park lands.
In addition to technical and compliance tasks, the interns will support operational logistics that enable on-the-ground work to happen efficiently. This includes coordinating tools and materials for purchase and delivery and arranging transportation for work crews. The notice also leaves room for additional support duties as needed, which is common for park-based internships where priorities can shift based on field conditions, scheduling, or emergent maintenance issues. Overall, the opportunity blends workforce development with practical deliverables that strengthen park infrastructure and stewardship, while giving interns exposure to landscape planning, construction documentation, permitting, compliance, and field operations within the National Park Service environment.Apply for P17AS00828
