Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 19 NERO 0002
The "Interpretation and Resource Management Interns" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 19 NERO 0002) is a National Park Service notice stating its intent to make an award under an existing master cooperative agreement, rather than a call for new applications. In other words, it is not an open competition and the announcement is published primarily for public transparency. The planned award would be made through Master Cooperative Agreement P15AC00015 between the Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS), and American Conservation Experience (ACE), an organization used by NPS to create hands-on environmental service placements that tap into a volunteer-driven workforce to support stewardship of public lands.
The project is structured around six Interpretation and Resource Management intern positions that would work side-by-side with NPS staff at three park units in West Virginia: New River Gorge National River (NERI), Gauley River National Recreation Area (GARI), and Bluestone National Scenic River (BLUE). The central purpose is experiential learning and workforce development. Interns are expected to gain practical exposure to daily park operations while building an understanding of the parks' natural and cultural resources through direct work assignments and interactive field experiences.
The work described blends interpretation, visitor program support, and resource management. Interns would engage with real-world resource issues the parks are dealing with, including topics like the potential effects of insecticides on amphibian populations and concerns related to water pollution. In addition to resource-focused work, the interns would help with the coordination and scheduling of park activity programs, and they would contribute to developing a climbing stewardship program, reflecting the parks' recreation management needs and the importance of responsible use in high-demand outdoor settings.
Training is a major component of the internship experience. The announcement indicates interns would receive orientation to the park and the NPS mission, along with CPR and first aid certification/training. They would also be trained in technical and operational skills relevant to their assignments, such as conducting surveys, applying pesticides (where applicable), and using software tools and other position-specific applications. Overall, the opportunity is framed as a cooperative agreement in the employment, labor, and training activity category (CFDA 15.931), with an expected single award and a total award ceiling of $36,720, created on March 1, 2019, with an original closing date of March 10, 2019. Eligibility is listed as limited to qualifying 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations (excluding institutions of higher education), consistent with the fact that the award is intended to be executed through the established partner agreement rather than competed broadly.Apply for NPS 19 NERO 0002
