Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00634
School to Work: Explore Careers in the NPS - Modification 2 (Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00634) is a National Park Service funding action under the U.S. Department of the Interior that supports education-focused career exposure for students. The project is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the National Park Service is expected to have an active role in working with the recipient rather than simply issuing a pass-through grant. The overall purpose is to connect York School District One in York, South Carolina with the National Park Service so that intermediate and high school students can learn about National Park Service careers in a direct, practical way.
The core objective is career exploration and workforce development for young people, with an emphasis on real-world learning rather than only classroom instruction. Through the agreement, students in the district are expected to participate in educational programming aligned with National Park Service work and to receive hands-on experiences and training that reflect what NPS employees actually do. In practical terms, this kind of initiative typically involves structured learning activities such as career talks, job-shadowing style opportunities, demonstrations of park operations, guided field experiences, and skill-building sessions that introduce students to pathways in conservation, interpretation and education, visitor services, cultural resource management, law enforcement, facilities and maintenance, and other park-related fields. The description emphasizes exposure and opportunity, suggesting the intent is to broaden awareness of public land careers and help students understand the education and training routes that can lead to those jobs.
This opportunity is listed in the Education activity category (CFDA 15.931) and is categorized as discretionary funding. The notice is not an open call for applications. Instead, it is a Notice of Intent to Award, which is used to inform the public that the agency plans to fund a specific project with a specific partner without holding a full and open competition. The eligible applicant type shown is county governments, and the announcement indicates an expectation of a single award.
Funding for this modification is capped at an award ceiling of $60,103, with one expected award. The posting date (creation date) is September 4, 2018. Because it is a notice of intent rather than a competitive solicitation, there is no standard application deadline and no request for proposals included. Overall, the grant action is best understood as targeted support for a local school district partnership designed to give middle and high school students meaningful, early exposure to National Park Service career options through programming and hands-on training experiences.Apply for P18AS00634
