Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00429
The Mount Vernon Trail Stewards opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00429) is a National Park Service discretionary grant offered through a cooperative agreement. It is focused on employment, labor, and training activities (CFDA 15.931) that place interns in public-facing visitor service roles along the Mount Vernon Trail, which is part of the George Washington Memorial Parkway. The intent is to support the park's visitor services division by having interns serve in a Park Guide capacity, helping the National Park Service maintain a safe, informative, and welcoming experience for the trail's very high level of use, cited as more than 1 million users per year.
Under this opportunity, interns affiliated with the selected partner organization (identified as SCA interns, referring to the Student Conservation Association model of internship support) would carry out regular roving patrols and direct visitor contacts on the trail. In practice, that means being present in high-traffic areas, approaching or assisting visitors as needed, answering questions, providing directions, and acting as a visible park resource. In addition to roving contacts, interns would be responsible for setting up stationary interpretive areas, which typically function like pop-up information stations where trail users can stop to ask questions, pick up information, or hear brief interpretive messages about the parkway, surrounding resources, or safe trail practices. A key part of the assignment is delivering consistent safety messaging to trail users, which can include guidance on trail etiquette, safe passing and speed awareness, sharing the trail among cyclists and pedestrians, and other practices intended to reduce conflicts and accidents in a busy corridor.
Eligibility for the award is limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The opportunity lists an award ceiling of $69,813 and indicates one expected award. The original closing date was July 2, 2017, and the posting was created on June 22, 2017. Importantly, the notice is labeled as a "Notice of Intent to Fund Only," meaning it was not presented as an open competition at that time. Instead, it signals the agency's intent to fund a specific project arrangement, and it references that this task agreement had been previously competed under Cooperative Agreement Number P15AC00031, indicating the work is a continuation or follow-on to an earlier competitively selected agreement rather than a newly competed solicitation.Apply for P17AS00429
