Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00459
The CHOH EDUCATION PROGRAM AND SUPPORT opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00459) is a National Park Service cooperative agreement tied to the Department of the Interior, focused on expanding and supporting the CO Canal Classrooms education program through paid, structured youth internship experiences. The core purpose is to place two youth interns in a national park setting where they can learn on the job while helping deliver and support the park's PreK-12 education offerings. The work is centered on assisting the park education team with hands-on, place-based programming that connects directly to school curriculum standards, with activities that can include classroom extension lessons and STEM-focused educational experiences delivered across multiple park locations.
The CO Canal Classrooms program itself began in 2013 and is described as being built around sustainable practices and partnership development. In practical terms, that means the internships are not just general summer help; they are meant to strengthen an established education initiative that relies on collaboration with schools, educators, and community partners to reach students and create long-term learning outcomes. The emphasis is on experiential learning in a real park environment, using the park as a living classroom to promote life-long learning and engagement with natural and cultural resources.
Administratively, this listing is a discretionary funding action using a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that the National Park Service expects to remain substantially involved in project implementation rather than simply issuing a pass-through grant. The funding activity category is listed under Employment, Labor and Training, reflecting that the primary deliverable is an internship/work-based learning experience for youth rather than, for example, a capital project or research study. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 15.931, and the opportunity anticipates a single award with a ceiling of $65,750.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofits holding IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. Importantly, the posting explicitly states that this is not a request for applications; it is a Notice of Intent to Fund Only, and it references that the agreement was previously competed under Cooperative Agreement number P15AC00031. In other words, the agency is signaling its intent to fund a specific recipient or continuation effort based on an earlier competitive process, rather than opening a new competition to the broader applicant pool. The notice was created on June 29, 2017, with an original closing date of July 9, 2017, consistent with the limited, non-competitive intent of the announcement.Apply for P17AS00459
