Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00330
The Frontline Interpreter Intern - WRBR opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00330) is a National Park Service (NPS) financial assistance project under the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is categorized as a discretionary award and will be issued as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the NPS expects to stay actively involved in guiding or collaborating on the work rather than simply providing funds with minimal federal participation. The activity focus is education, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.931. The notice was created on June 27, 2019.
The core purpose of the project is to support an intern position that strengthens visitor-facing interpretation and public engagement. The intern will work alongside NPS employees, volunteers, and other student interns, primarily providing frontline services at a visitor center information desk. In practical terms, that usually involves greeting visitors, answering questions, providing orientation and safety information, helping people plan their visit, and connecting them to park resources and experiences. The position is also designed to build interpretive capacity by having the intern create and deliver audience-centered interpretive programs aligned with 21st Century Interpretive Standards. That points to programming that is intentionally designed around visitor interests and needs, uses relevant themes and stories, and encourages meaningful connections between audiences and the park's resources.
A significant component of the intern's work will be digital outreach. The intern is expected to develop original social media content intended to reach new audiences, which suggests the project is not limited to on-site interpretation but also aims to expand engagement beyond the visitor center. Depending on park priorities, this could include creating posts that highlight park stories, aviation-related history, behind-the-scenes content, event promotion, educational mini-features, or other materials tailored to different platforms and audience groups.
The intern will also help plan special events tied to National Aviation Day. This planning support can range from coordinating logistics and schedules to assisting with interpretive activities, public communications, volunteer coordination, and day-of event support. The mention of "Mod 3" indicates this is a modified notice or update iteration of the project description.
In terms of award details, the announcement states an award ceiling of $29,712 and anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1). Eligibility is limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. Importantly, the posting is a Notice of Intent to Award and explicitly states it is not a request for applications. That means the NPS is providing public notice that it intends to fund a specific project without full and open competition, rather than inviting a broad pool of applicants to submit proposals by a standard deadline.Apply for P19AS00330
