Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 18 NERO 0115
The grant opportunity titled "Youth Intern Conducts Conducts Assessments & Plan Reviews" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 18 NERO 0115) is a National Park Service notice stating its intent to make an award through an existing cooperative framework, rather than opening a new competition. In plain terms, it is not a call for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notification that the Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS) plans to issue a task agreement under a master cooperative agreement that was previously competed or otherwise justified as single source.
The project sits under Master Cooperative Agreement P15AC00031 between NPS and The Student Conservation Association (SCA). The broader purpose of that master agreement is workforce and leadership development: building the next generation of conservation leaders and encouraging long-term environmental stewardship by placing young people in hands-on service roles that build outdoor, technical, and leadership skills. Within that larger partnership, this specific task is focused on providing a structured internship experience at Gateway National Recreation Area.
The core of the project is the placement and support of one youth intern serving in a public health and environmental safety capacity. The intern is expected to gain practical, transferable job skills by working directly with park professionals, especially alongside the park's Public Health Environmental Specialist. The internship is designed to contribute to real operational needs in the park while also functioning as a learning experience that introduces the intern to how cultural resources and public lands are managed, how public health risks are identified and reduced, and how these efforts tie into visitor safety and overall visitor experience.
The work plan lays out a fairly broad portfolio of public health and environmental compliance activities. Duties include conducting building inspections, completing assessments, and reviewing plans to ensure facilities and projects align with health and safety expectations. The intern will also support asbestos and lead-based paint management efforts, which typically involve helping track materials, ensuring controls and procedures are followed, and assisting with documentation tied to hazard prevention and regulatory compliance. Another major area is water safety, covering both drinking water systems and recreational waters, where the focus is on protecting public health through monitoring, inspection support, and adherence to applicable standards. The intern will additionally assist with food safety and concessions inspections, which in a park setting can involve checking concession operations for sanitary practices and safe food handling. Work also extends to health and safety considerations at recreation and sports facilities, meaning the intern may help assess conditions that could affect visitor safety during activities and events. Finally, the internship includes a public-facing education component: helping deliver outreach related to fish consumption advisories for fish caught within park boundaries, which is an important risk communication activity when contaminants may affect local fish.
Administratively, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, with the activity category listed as employment, labor, and training under CFDA 15.931. The eligibility field indicates nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), which aligns with the SCA's role as the established partner under the master cooperative agreement. The notice lists an award ceiling of $43,326 and anticipates a single award, reflecting that this is intended to support one intern position and the associated program costs through the preexisting partnership rather than multiple competing awards. The announcement was created on August 9, 2018, with an original closing date of August 18, 2018, but because it is not a request for applications, those dates function more as public notice timing than as a typical application window.Apply for NPS 18 NERO 0115
