Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS NOIP17AC00454
The Support Youth Internship Program with the St. Croix River Association opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) cooperative agreement action that adds additional funding to an existing partnership under cooperative agreement P17AC00454. Rather than launching a brand-new standalone grant competition, this action modifies and expands an ongoing relationship between the NPS and the St. Croix River Association (SCRA), which has served as the official Friends Group for the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway (SACN) since an agreement signed in May 2011. The broader purpose of the long-running partnership has been to strengthen the Riverway through collaborative projects that support stewardship, community involvement, and practical on-the-ground resource work.
The central objective of this modification is to support youth engagement through the SCRA-SACN Internship Program. The internship is designed to benefit both participants and the park by improving visitor experiences, encouraging long-term resource stewardship, and building stronger connections among the NPS, the Riverway's natural and cultural resources, and surrounding communities. The program fits within a history of joint efforts between NPS and SCRA that has included recruiting new volunteers, supporting strategic planning, increasing public awareness, and carrying out community engagement activities tied to issues like aquatic invasive species, land protection, "healthy parks, healthy people" programming, and water quality protection and improvement.
Under the agreement, NPS and SCRA will provide at least one paid internship lasting roughly five to seven months. The intern role is framed primarily around aquatic invasive species work, combining duties typical of an AIS specialist and a natural resource technician. The intern is expected to participate in outreach and education efforts, conduct monitoring activities, and assist with research tasks that help the park better understand and manage invasive species challenges. In addition, the intern may support invasive plant control work as needed and help generate or contribute to research and management projects that directly support NPS field operations and decision-making.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is listed as a cooperative agreement (not a standard grant), reflecting an arrangement where the NPS anticipates substantial involvement and coordination with the partner organization in carrying out the work. It is issued by the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and is associated with CFDA number 15.954. The funding opportunity number is NPS NOIP17AC00454. The posting indicates an expected single award, with an award ceiling of $54,995. The opportunity was created on April 20, 2018, and showed an original closing date of April 30, 2018. Eligibility is described broadly as "Others," which in practice aligns with the context provided: this is tied to an existing cooperative relationship with SCRA as the Friends Group supporting SACN, rather than an open call aimed at a wide range of applicants.
Overall, the funding supports a practical, workforce-development-oriented conservation internship that advances NPS resource protection goals in the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway. The emphasis is on building capacity for invasive species outreach, monitoring, and applied field work while giving a young professional a paid, multi-month experience that strengthens conservation skills and deepens ties between the park and local communities.Apply for NPS NOIP17AC00454
