Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00184
The funding opportunity titled "Engage Local Youth in Employment Opportunities at Everglades National Park" (Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00184) is a National Park Service notice issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior on April 26, 2018. It falls under the discretionary category and uses a cooperative agreement funding instrument, with the program aligned to natural resources work. The listing is associated with CFDA number 15.931 and is framed as an employment and workforce development effort focused on placing youth in internship roles connected to Everglades National Park.
This announcement is not open competition and is not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that the National Park Service intends to make a single award under an existing cooperative agreement (P15AC00020) with the Greening Youth Foundation. Because the funding is being issued as a task agreement under that prior cooperative agreement, no applications will be accepted through this posting, and the standard concept of an application deadline does not apply. The notice is essentially included to document the agency's intent to direct funds to a specific partner through an already-established agreement mechanism.
The planned funding level listed is up to $761,000, with one expected award. The core purpose of the task agreement is to support internship positions within Everglades National Park, described as "up internships" in the source text, indicating a set of internship opportunities to be funded and administered through the partner organization. While the announcement itself does not provide operational details on internship structure, participant eligibility, timelines, or specific work assignments, it points readers to additional program information located in an attachment under the "related documents" section of the original posting.
In practical terms, the opportunity is best understood as a targeted workforce initiative: the National Park Service is using an existing cooperative agreement with the Greening Youth Foundation to place local youth into paid or structured internship experiences at Everglades National Park, supporting both youth employment and park mission needs. The agency is signaling transparency about the intended award, the recipient organization, the funding mechanism, and the overall objective, while directing anyone seeking deeper program specifics to the attached supporting documentation.Apply for P18AS00184
