The National Park Service (NPS) is offering a grant for youth internship opportunities at North Cascades NPS Complex and San Juan Island National Historical Park in Washington State. This initiative aims to engage and train the next generation of park advocates and employees, particularly focusing on diverse youth from economically challenged communities. The grant provides paid internships for individuals aged 18-25, lasting three to six months, where they will learn about park natural and cultural histories while working alongside NPS staff. Shorter, unpaid opportunities are also available for youth under 18. Some awards, authorized by the Public Land Corps, may require a cost match from cooperators. This grant supports the NPS mission to foster future park stewards.

| Amendment #1 is posted to clarify that applicants may propose projects for youth of any age, for activities of any duration, and that the applicant is not required to pay financial stipends to the participants. This statement in Section I, Part B, of the FOA may be misleading: “The “pathway” from experience to experience includes paid internship opportunities for youth from 18-25 who join NPS staff for three to six months and learn about the natural and cultural histories of the park while working with NPS staff on a wide variety of tasks.” The sentence refers to only one of the recognized NPS pathways to engage youth. We welcome applications for other types of youth engagement programs whose participants may volunteer with no compensation, volunteer with subsistence support (food and/or lodging), or volunteer with paid stipend. Youths may participate for longer than six months or shorter than three months. Participants may be younger than 18 years old. | Apr 26, 2013 | |
