Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS NOIP18AC00195
The grant opportunity titled "PLC: Kab-Ash Trail Maintenance- VOYA" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP18AC00195) is a discretionary National Park Service (NPS) cooperative agreement designed to support youth engagement and workforce development through hands-on conservation work in a national park setting. It sits under CFDA 15.931 and is administered by the Department of the Interior, National Park Service. The award is structured as a Cooperative Agreement, meaning the NPS is expected to be actively involved in the project rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back.
At its core, this opportunity is tied to an existing cooperative agreement (P15AC00031) between NPS and The Student Conservation Association (SCA). The broader aim of that underlying agreement is to build the next generation of conservation leaders and encourage long-term environmental stewardship by placing young people in real service roles on public lands. The task agreement described here uses that framework to create a specific youth conservation project focused on trail maintenance, where participants gain outdoor skills, leadership development, and practical experience completing priority park infrastructure work.
The primary purpose is educational and developmental: giving youth the chance to learn about the environment by working directly on projects within the National Parks. While the participants benefit through training and experience, NPS also benefits indirectly through the completion of needed conservation and maintenance tasks that improve park resources and visitor access. In addition to the fieldwork, NPS will provide cultural and environmental programming for the crew, such as park tours, educational sessions, and talks on the park's history and related topics, reinforcing the learning and stewardship components of the project.
The on-the-ground scope of work is focused on maintaining and improving the Kab-Ash Trail System, with specific deliverables that include repairing a 50-foot section of boardwalk (including replacement of rotted components), repairing and cleaning 12 culverts, addressing drainage and tread issues through work like clearing and repairing waterbars, repairing rock stairways and rock cairns, improving signage along the trail, and brushing back or removing encroaching vegetation along a 6-mile segment of trail corridor. The intent is to make the trail system safer, more accessible, and more enjoyable for visitors across the year, while also protecting trail infrastructure and surrounding natural resources by improving drainage and reducing deterioration.
All project assets and work locations are in the Namakan District of the park, and the opportunity anticipates a single award. The posted award ceiling is $76,402, with an expected number of awards listed as 1. Eligibility is limited to nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The opportunity was created on April 2, 2018, with an original closing date of April 16, 2018, indicating a short application window typical of task-specific cooperative agreements tied to an existing partnership framework.Apply for NPS NOIP18AC00195
