Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 19 NERO 0107
The Spindle City Corps Trade Skills Team opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 19 NERO 0107) is a National Park Service notice of intent to award a cooperative agreement, not an open call for proposals. In other words, it is published to inform the public that the Department of the Interior, National Park Service plans to provide financial assistance for a specific set of activities under an existing master cooperative agreement (P14AC00340) that was already established with Community Teamwork, Inc. Because of that structure, the announcement is not asking new applicants to compete, even though it lists general eligibility information.
The purpose of the project is youth workforce development through hands-on, park-based skilled trades training tied directly to stewardship of natural, historic, and cultural resources. The program is designed to help build a pipeline of skilled workers while also developing engaged citizens and future leaders who understand and can help care for public resources. The work is framed as service and training, with youth learning in real operational settings rather than only in classrooms.
Program activities center on recruiting and supporting four diverse youth participants drawn from local vocational schools. During the school year, these students participate on a part-time basis in a skilled trades training and professional development experience within the park environment. That school-year component is then extended through a more intensive summer session: the same youth are offered full-time participation for 10 weeks in an in-depth skills training program. A key feature is that participants work side-by-side with National Park Service maintenance craftspeople, gaining exposure to professional standards, safety practices, and the day-to-day realities of maintaining and protecting park assets. The hands-on work supports specific resource management projects, meaning the training is tied to real needs in the park rather than simulated assignments.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement instrument, with the activity area listed under education and the CFDA number 15.931. The announcement indicates an anticipated single award with a maximum funding level (award ceiling) of $51,000. The posting shows a creation date of August 13, 2019 and an original closing date of August 23, 2019, but those dates function more as public-notice milestones in this context, since the notice explicitly states it is not a request for applications and is tied to an intended award under the pre-existing agreement.
Overall, this opportunity supports a small cohort, high-touch model: four vocational students receive sustained exposure to skilled trades work over the academic year and then a concentrated summer placement, all embedded within National Park Service operations. The end goal is both practical workforce preparation and long-term stewardship capacity, achieved by pairing youth participants with experienced NPS trades staff on tangible park resource management work.Apply for NPS 19 NERO 0107
