Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 17 NERO 0057
The Stewards of the Future Youth Crew at John Fitzgerald Kennedy National Historic Site (Funding Opportunity Number NPS-17-NERO-0057) is a National Park Service (NPS) cooperative agreement notice issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior. It falls under CFDA 15.931 and was posted on June 8, 2017, with an original closing date of June 18, 2017. The key point is that this announcement is not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that NPS intends to make a task agreement award under an already established master cooperative agreement that was previously competed or justified as a single-source arrangement. In other words, the agency is signaling its intent to fund a specific partner through an existing cooperative framework rather than opening a new competitive application process.
The anticipated award structure involves a single expected award (Expected Awards: 1) with an award ceiling of $25,818. Eligible organizations are limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The purpose of the task agreement is to support a youth crew program at the John F. Kennedy National Historic Site by ensuring the program is staffed, paid, equipped, trained, and administratively supported in a way that allows NPS to deliver youth engagement and on-site work activities effectively.
Under the described scope of work, the recipient organization is responsible for recruiting candidates to fill a Field Leader position, with a strong preference for a diversity candidate. While the partner recruits and presents applicants, NPS retains the role of making the final selection. Once selected, the partner must handle compensation logistics by providing a weekly stipend for the Field Leader and paying an hourly wage to the Stewards of the Future (SF) Crew participants. The partner also covers predetermined round-trip travel expenses for the Field Leader from their home to the assigned duty station, helping ensure the leader can report to the site without bearing those costs personally.
Beyond hiring and payment, the partner has a significant role in day-to-day program oversight and participant management. This includes supervising the Field Leader and the SF Crew, directing their participation, and taking corrective measures when needed, including responding to conduct issues. The recipient must maintain administrative records for both the Field Leader and crew members and provide ongoing administrative support while they are participating in the program. This signals that the partner is expected to function as the primary administrative and support backbone for the crew, while NPS focuses on mission delivery and site needs.
The agreement also requires the partner to provide key operational supports: required training and transportation for the Field Leader and crew while on duty, as well as uniforms for both. These elements suggest the program is structured to ensure participants are prepared to work safely and professionally and can reliably travel to work locations or project sites connected to the historic site. Finally, the partner must provide a 25% cash match, meaning the nonprofit is expected to contribute a quarter of the project cost from non-federal cash resources rather than relying entirely on federal funds.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a formal notice of NPS intent to fund a specific youth crew support effort through an existing cooperative agreement mechanism. The work centers on recruiting and supporting a Field Leader and youth crew members, managing pay and travel, maintaining oversight and conduct standards, providing administrative and logistical support (records, transportation, training), supplying uniforms, and meeting a 25% cash match requirement, all within a total federal funding cap of $25,818 and with only one anticipated award.Apply for NPS 17 NERO 0057
