Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00692
The grant opportunity titled "Interpretation and Education Interns" (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00692) is a National Park Service initiative under the Department of the Interior focused on education programming at Fort Pulaski. It is issued as a discretionary opportunity using a cooperative agreement, which typically means the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in guiding or collaborating on the project rather than simply providing funds with minimal federal participation. The funding activity category is education, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.931.
The project itself is designed to support the education and training of four young adult interns who will work directly with Fort Pulaski's interpretation and education program. Their work will center on delivering public-facing interpretive programming as well as curriculum-based education programs aimed at students. A major emphasis is reaching thousands of students who visit Fort Pulaski each year, while also extending the park's educational reach through outreach efforts to audiences who cannot visit in person. In practice, this type of internship support generally strengthens a park's capacity to run school programs, interpretive talks, demonstrations, special events, and off-site or partner-based educational activities, helping translate park resources and history into accessible learning experiences.
A key goal of the award is workforce development: the interns are expected to gain professional and technical skills that introduce them to potential careers within the National Park Service. This includes hands-on experience in interpretation, environmental or historical education, visitor engagement, program delivery, and other practical competencies commonly used in public lands education and outreach. By embedding interns in the day-to-day operations of the interpretation and education program, the project aims to build early career exposure and a stronger pathway into federal or affiliated public service roles.
Eligibility is limited primarily to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), along with certain other eligible entities as noted in the opportunity's additional eligibility language. The notice indicates an expected single award with an award ceiling of $55,860 and an anticipated number of awards of one. The opportunity is not open as a standard competitive application cycle; instead, it is explicitly described as "not a request for application" and serves as a notice of intent to make a restricted award, meaning the National Park Service plans to make a specific, limited-scope award rather than solicit proposals broadly. The opportunity was created on August 18, 2017.Apply for P17AS00692
