Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00521
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a Notice of Intent to Award for a project called "Youth Crew to Maintain Trails at Point Reyes National Seashore." This notice is meant strictly as a public announcement of NPS plans and is not a request for applications or an open competition. In other words, the agency is not soliciting proposals from the public through this posting; it is documenting its intent to fund a specific set of activities through an existing partnership arrangement.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, reflecting that NPS and the partner organization are expected to have substantial involvement together in carrying out the work. The effort falls under the funding activity areas of natural resources and employment, labor, and training, which fits the nature of a youth conservation crew project that both improves park infrastructure and provides workforce development experience. The opportunity is listed under CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number 15.931, which corresponds to NPS assistance programs.
This notice is tied to Task Agreement P18AC00991, which sits under a broader master Cooperative Agreement P15AC00008. The identified partner for this task agreement is Conservation Corps North Bay. While the eligibility category in the source information references nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), the notice itself indicates the intended recipient has already been selected through the existing cooperative agreement mechanism, and the announcement is serving the transparency function of letting the public know where the funding is going and for what purpose.
The project’s focus is trail maintenance at Point Reyes National Seashore, a unit of the National Park System in coastal Northern California. Although the notice does not list a detailed scope of work, the title makes clear that the core activities involve a youth crew performing hands-on trail maintenance to support safe access, resource protection, and ongoing stewardship of park recreational infrastructure. Youth crew programs like this typically emphasize supervised field work, practical skills development, and exposure to conservation careers while completing needed maintenance tasks on public lands.
Administratively, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding, with an anticipated single award. The listed award ceiling is $50,000, and the posting date (creation date) is August 14, 2018. The original closing date is effectively not applicable because the notice is not inviting applications; it is simply announcing NPS’s intent to make the award under the stated cooperative agreement and task agreement framework.Apply for P18AS00521
