About this opportunity

The National Park Service (NPS) is seeking applicants for the Bringing Youth Outdoors Together and Environmental Steward Program through a Cooperative Agreement. The program aims to connect underserved youth, particularly from urban, rural, military, and native communities, with outdoor experiences and activities in national parks. Key focus areas include recreation, education, volunteerism, and career exploration for youth up to age 18. Eligible applicants include state/local governments, tribal organizations, educational institutions, and nonprofits. Proposals will be evaluated equally on four criteria: organizational structure, capabilities, project design, and past performance. The application deadline is February 8, 2025 by 11:59 PM EST, with an anticipated award date of May 10, 2025 and end date of May 9, 2030.

The NPS anticipates making 6 Master Cooperative Agreement awards under this opportunity, with specific funding amounts to be determined through subsequent Task Agreements once appropriations are made. No cost-sharing is required from applicants. The program will take place at national parks across the United States, providing youth from underserved communities with a range of outdoor experiences and environmental stewardship activities.
