Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS NOI MACA 17 22861
The "Interpretation Park Guide Interns" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOI MACA 17 22861) is a National Park Service notice of intent to award under the U.S. Department of the Interior. It falls under the discretionary funding category and would be issued as a cooperative agreement tied to the Natural Resources funding activity area (CFDA 15.931). The notice was created on April 10, 2017, with an original closing date listed as April 20, 2017, and it anticipates a single award. The award ceiling is shown as $0, which commonly indicates that the dollar amount is not being competed or publicly specified in this notice, or that the funding details are governed by the underlying master cooperative agreement and the specific task agreement terms.
This announcement is not a solicitation and is explicitly not requesting applications or proposals. Instead, it serves as public notice that the National Park Service intends to make a task agreement award under an already established master cooperative agreement that was either previously competed or justified as a single-source arrangement. In practical terms, that means the recipient is likely predetermined under the existing cooperative agreement structure, and the purpose of the posting is transparency rather than competition.
The main program objective is youth development through interpretation and education at Mammoth Cave (referenced as MACA in the notice). The agreement is designed to help youth build a stronger understanding of Mammoth Cave's natural and cultural resources, why those resources matter, and how they connect to broader systems and stories beyond the park's boundaries. A second core objective is structured mentorship: youth participants are intended to receive guidance from an experienced lead and guide who will help them learn how to create and deliver interpretive and educational programming that is effective, accurate, engaging, and interesting to the public. In other words, the work centers on training and supporting youth interns so they can contribute to the park's interpretive mission while gaining skills in communication, public speaking, education program design, and resource stewardship.
Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with additional clarification expected in the full announcement attachment. Because this is a notice of intent to award rather than an open call, the eligibility field is less about inviting new applicants and more about documenting the type of entity covered by the existing cooperative agreement framework. The notice also directs readers to the attached full announcement for further details, which would typically include the specific partner organization, the task agreement scope of work, responsibilities of each party, and any budget or performance period information.Apply for NPS NOI MACA 17 22861
