Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00165
The Youth Programming Spindle City Corps, 2017: Community Action Team grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00165) is a National Park Service (NPS) initiative under the U.S. Department of the Interior focused on youth employment and hands-on education in park operations and cultural stewardship. It is categorized as a discretionary opportunity and would be awarded through a cooperative agreement, reflecting a partnership-style arrangement where the NPS and the partner organization coordinate closely on program delivery. The funding activity category is Education, and it falls under CFDA 15.931.
The core purpose of the program is to employ up to 14 youth from diverse backgrounds, providing them with meaningful paid work experience connected to NPS sites. Participants are expected to work 30 hours per week during the summer months, with additional work opportunities during the winter as they arise. Their duties are designed to blend practical workforce development with public service: youth work alongside park staff to assist with a range of maintenance projects while also learning cultural stewardship through direct, hands-on experience. In addition to on-site work, the program includes visits to other National Park Service sites so participants can engage with a broader set of park units and better understand the NPS core mission and how it is carried out across different locations.
Beyond maintenance and stewardship training, the youth team also supports the visitor experience by providing supplemental interpretive programming. This interpretive role helps parks expand their public-facing educational offerings and, importantly, can enable certain sites or areas to remain open that might otherwise be closed due to limited staffing. To ensure effective daily coordination and supervision, the project includes funding for a work leader position responsible for guiding day-to-day operations and overseeing the activities of the youth team. The opportunity also specifies that Community Teamwork, Inc. (CTI) will employ one Cultural Resources support position, adding dedicated capacity to assist with cultural resources-related needs tied to the program.
From an administrative and funding standpoint, the opportunity lists an award ceiling of $31,980 with one expected award. Although it is presented as a federal funding opportunity, it is not open for competition: the posting functions as a notice of intent to enter an agreement with Community Teamwork, Inc. under an existing cooperative agreement (P14AC00340), and it explicitly states that no applications will be accepted. Eligible applicants are therefore effectively limited by that intent notice, even though the eligibility field is broadly labeled as "Others" with reference to additional eligibility clarification. The opportunity was created on April 5, 2017, and the closing information reiterates that this is a non-competitive action tied to the intended partner rather than a standard open call for proposals.Apply for P17AS00165
