Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 19 NERO 0086
The Youth Assist with Historic Preservation of Structures opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) notice of intent to award funding under a cooperative agreement, not an open call for applications. In other words, it is published to inform the public that NPS plans to provide financial assistance for a specific set of activities through an existing partnership rather than compete the funding through a standard application process. The project is tied to a Master Cooperative Agreement (P15AC00031) between the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and the Student Conservation Association (SCA), which is designed to help develop the next generation of conservation leaders by placing young people in hands-on service roles that build practical skills and encourage long-term stewardship of public lands and communities.
The core of the project is the placement of two interns who will directly support NPS historic preservation and conservation work. These interns will be embedded with the park's operational teams, specifically working alongside the maintenance staff and the carpentry and masonry shops. Their day-to-day work is expected to contribute to the planning and execution of historic preservation projects across the park, with an emphasis on maintaining and protecting historic buildings, structures, and associated utility systems. The internship is structured to provide real trade exposure in an active preservation environment, combining supervised learning with opportunities for independent work as skills develop.
The internship duties are notably broad and trade-focused. Interns will work with journeyman-level mechanics and apply knowledge across multiple building and infrastructure trades, including heavy equipment operation, carpentry, plumbing, painting, electrical work, masonry, and roofing. The tasks described include repairs, preventive maintenance, and minor construction activities, all in the context of historic structures where workmanship and adherence to specifications matter. Interns are also expected to use and maintain common trade tools and equipment, interpret work instructions and technical specifications (including blueprints), and operate specialized access equipment such as a boom lift. A strong emphasis is placed on following safe work practices to prevent injury and avoid damage to equipment and historic property, and on maintaining professional conduct when working with staff and others in the park environment.
Administratively, the opportunity is listed as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement funding instrument, categorized under an education-related funding activity (CFDA 15.931). The only eligible applicant type noted is a nonprofit organization with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), which aligns with the intended recipient being the SCA under the existing master agreement framework. The posting indicates an expected single award with a maximum funding amount (award ceiling) of $54,682, and it specifically notes that the stated funding total includes both AmeriCorps and NPS funding components. The opportunity was created on July 30, 2019, with an original closing date of August 9, 2019, reflecting the timing of the public notice rather than a competitive application deadline.Apply for NPS 19 NERO 0086
