Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00191
The "PULBIC OUTREACH INTERN FOR GREAT BASIN NATIONAL PARK" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00191) is a National Park Service discretionary award under the Department of the Interior, structured as a cooperative agreement within the Natural Resources funding activity category (CFDA 15.931). It is not an open, competitive call for applications. Instead, it is published as a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning the National Park Service is providing public notice that it plans to fund a specific project through an existing cooperative agreement with ACE. The listed eligible applicant type is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization other than an institution of higher education, but because the notice is not requesting applications, eligibility information is largely informational rather than an invitation to apply.
The project itself centers on supporting public engagement and interpretation at Great Basin National Park through an intern position focused on outreach and visitor services. The intern is expected to deliver formal ranger-led programs for park visitors and to build specialized knowledge of Lehman Cave in order to conduct cave tours. Beyond on-site programming, the role includes community outreach to local groups, particularly school groups and seniors, helping the park strengthen relationships with surrounding communities and expand educational access. A specific emphasis is placed on reaching underserved communities in the area around the park, aligning outreach efforts with broader public service goals.
A major component of the internship is communications and digital outreach. The intern may work across digital, print, and social media platforms, assisting with updates to the park website and social media accounts and contributing to the development of virtual outreach. This includes helping plan and deliver live digital programs and strengthening the park's ability to connect with audiences who may not be able to visit in person. The intern may also support the creation of public-facing information products such as press releases and will develop practical communication skills through tasks like answering phones and contributing written content for official channels.
The stated objectives combine professional development with direct mission support. On the professional development side, the program is intended to give interns hands-on technical skills and real-world experience in interpretation, communications, and public service. On the mission support side, the internship advances Great Basin's traditional ranger programming and frontline visitor services while also expanding the park's virtual presence and community outreach footprint. The opportunity lists an award ceiling of $123,647, reflects a creation date of June 7, 2018, and indicates zero expected awards in the posting, consistent with its status as a notice tied to an existing agreement rather than a new competitive grant round.Apply for P18AS00191
