Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS NOIP19AC00033
The FY19 Next Century Stewards Internship Program (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP19AC00033) is a National Park Service notice describing its intent to make a single cooperative agreement award under an already competed Master Cooperative Agreement (P15AC00031). In practical terms, this is not a broad, open call for new proposals so much as a public announcement that NPS plans to fund a specific task agreement tied to an existing partnership vehicle. The effort is administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and is listed under CFDA 15.931, with the opportunity category and activity category both labeled as "Other" with additional clarification referenced in the full notice.
The core purpose of the project is to recruit and support four youth interns from the surrounding community to assist the interpretive work at Charles Young Buffalo Soldiers National Monument in Wilberforce, Ohio (often abbreviated as CHYO in NPS materials). The selected recipient organization is expected to handle recruitment of the four interns and ensure they receive both an initial orientation to the National Park Service and the site, plus hands-on training that prepares them to contribute meaningfully to the park's interpretation division. That training is intended to be directly connected to real public-facing duties, not just classroom instruction, so the interns can actively participate in outreach and programming.
Intern duties focus on interpretation and community engagement. The interns will help staff and deliver programming during school visits, library sessions, and other events held locally and statewide where NPS interpreters share the significance of Colonel Charles Young and the broader Buffalo Soldiers story. Alongside historical interpretation, the interns will also support cultural demonstrations and activities that help audiences connect with the historical narrative through lived traditions and community-centered learning. The overall emphasis is on strengthening public understanding of the site and its themes through repeated, structured engagement with students, residents, and partner organizations.
The work is timed to support a set of scheduled interpretive programs and annual commemorations, including events honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s Birthday, collaborations with local schools during Black History Month, engagement with the ROTC Marauder Battalion, and activities commemorating the 155th birthday of Colonel Charles Young. These milestones serve as anchor points for planning and delivery, giving interns exposure to how NPS designs interpretive experiences around nationally recognized observances as well as site-specific anniversaries. By participating in these signature events, interns gain experience working in team-based public programs that may involve partners, volunteers, educators, and community stakeholders.
From a workforce development perspective, the internship is framed as a skills-building opportunity that blends communication, research, and professional development. Interns are expected to build oratory and public speaking capability, strengthen research skills tied to historical interpretation, and gain exposure to exhibition development, which can include contributing to displays or interpretive materials that communicate key messages to visitors. The notice also highlights grant writing experience, suggesting interns may assist with drafting, research, or support tasks connected to resource development and future programming sustainability. The intent is to provide practical, resume-relevant competencies while also advancing NPS public education goals.
In terms of funding and logistics, the opportunity lists an award ceiling of $27,794 and anticipates one award total, reinforcing that this is a targeted agreement rather than a multi-award competition. The original posting date is May 3, 2019, with an original closing date of May 12, 2019, which is consistent with a notice of intent to award under an existing master agreement rather than an extended competitive application window. Eligible applicants are described broadly as "Others," with the expectation that eligibility details are constrained by the pre-existing master cooperative agreement and whatever partner category was previously competed and selected.
Overall, the grant supports a small cohort internship model designed to expand interpretation capacity at Charles Young Buffalo Soldiers National Monument while investing in local youth. It combines community-rooted recruitment, structured training, and real program delivery tied to significant commemorations, with the dual outcome of improving public access to the Charles Young and Buffalo Soldiers narrative and building a pipeline of young people with tangible skills in interpretation, research, exhibits, and basic grants work.Apply for NPS NOIP19AC00033
