Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 18 NERO 0188
The Visual Information and Outreach Youth Interns opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) cooperative agreement action intended to support youth engagement, public outreach, and visual communications work at NPS sites. It is important to note that the notice explicitly states it is not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notification that NPS plans to make an award through an existing master cooperative agreement that was already competed (or otherwise justified as single-source). In practical terms, this means the agency is signaling its intent to fund a specific partner under a pre-established agreement rather than opening a new, competitive application process.
The planned award would be issued under Master Cooperative Agreement Number P15AC00031 between the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and The Student Conservation Association (SCA). The broader purpose of that master agreement is workforce and leadership development: building the next generation of conservation leaders and encouraging lifelong stewardship by placing young people in hands-on service roles that develop outdoor skills and leadership capacity. The funding activity category aligns with employment, labor, and training, and the CFDA (now Assistance Listing) associated with the opportunity is 15.931, reflecting NPS-related assistance programming.
The intern roles described are centered on delivering and expanding youth-focused programming through both formal and informal interpretation. Interns would support park rangers and volunteers as they run youth programs, and they would also take on outreach responsibilities aimed at reaching new audiences, especially in diverse communities surrounding the park. A major partnership-development component is included: the intern is expected to research programming across the 23 branches of the YMCA of Greater New York, identify which branches are located near NPNH sites, and then help shape program options that could be delivered through that YMCA partnership. In addition, the intern would help develop program ideas for engagement with the Coast Guard community, indicating an emphasis on connecting with distinct local or regional stakeholder groups.
A significant communications and media element is built into the work. Interns are expected to design and deliver youth-appealing programs and then document and promote those efforts through photography and social media, sharing program highlights to broaden reach and visibility. They would also maintain and update the NPNH Content Management System and provide graphic design, photography, and video support for assigned projects. The announcement specifically references using Adobe Creative Suite applications, suggesting that day-to-day tasks may include producing branded outreach materials, editing photos and video, and creating digital content that can be used across multiple park sites.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary and uses a cooperative agreement funding instrument, reflecting a relationship where NPS anticipates substantial involvement in the supported activities. The eligible applicant category listed is nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), consistent with the intent to route the award through an established nonprofit partner such as SCA. The notice lists an expected single award with an award ceiling of $32,641. The posting indicates it was created on September 3, 2018, with an original closing date of September 11, 2018, which in this context functions more as a public notice timeline than an application deadline for open competition. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a pre-arranged internship support action designed to strengthen youth programming, community outreach, and visual/digital communications capacity across NPS sites through a partner-managed intern placement.Apply for NPS 18 NERO 0188
