Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS NOIP19AC00124
The YPP Diverse Youth Intern Program - WICA is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding opportunity issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior to support a youth internship project delivered through a cooperative agreement. Rather than being an open, broadly competed solicitation, the notice serves as a public announcement of NPS intent to make a single task agreement award (P19AC00124) under an already competed master cooperative agreement (P15AC00031). In practical terms, this means the work is expected to be carried out through an established partner relationship tied to that master agreement, with one anticipated award.
The core purpose of the project is to place interns in visitor-facing roles that directly support a park unit identified as WICA. Interns are expected to help provide access to the park's primary resource by leading up to three cave tours per day and by offering interpretive and practical information that improves the visitor experience. Based on the tour schedule described, the program is designed to enable roughly 6,500 visitors to experience the park's primary resource through these guided cave tours. In addition to tours, interns will staff an information desk and serve as a point of contact for visitors, helping them navigate the park and get the information they need for a meaningful visit.
Beyond day-to-day visitor services, the internship is framed as a public stewardship and education effort. The project is intended to engage interns, partners, local communities, and visitors in shared environmental stewardship and to promote stronger public and private participation in historic preservation-related programs and activities. It emphasizes building a resource stewardship ethic among participants and motivating youth to become involved in protecting natural, cultural, and historical resources in their communities and beyond. The program also aims to improve public understanding of natural, cultural, historic, recreational, and conservation-related values associated with parks and protected areas, including ecological conservation areas and state and local parks.
A key feature of the opportunity is workforce development through hands-on experience. Interns are expected to gain real-world training by working alongside Park Rangers and Park Guides, learning how parks operate while developing practical skills in interpretation, visitor engagement, and public service. Overall, the grant supports a structured, on-site youth internship model that combines direct visitor access and education (through tours and information services) with longer-term goals of stewardship, preservation awareness, and youth engagement in conservation careers and civic responsibility.
From the funding details provided, the opportunity is listed under CFDA 15.931 and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. The announced award ceiling is $29,368, with one expected award. The posting was created on April 5, 2019, with an original closing date of April 14, 2019. Eligibility is described as "Others" with additional clarification referenced in the opportunity's eligibility information field, consistent with the intent to award under an existing master cooperative agreement rather than through a typical open competition.Apply for NPS NOIP19AC00124
