Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00349
The Department of the Interior, National Park Service posted a discretionary funding notice titled "Visitor Services Intern(s) for Manzanar National Historic Site" (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00349). The project is focused on supporting visitor services and interpretive operations at Manzanar National Historic Site by placing intern staff in roles that directly help the park serve the public. The core purpose is to strengthen day-to-day visitor engagement while also helping address upkeep needs in the park's interpretive spaces, particularly exhibits and media areas that are starting to show their age.
Under this opportunity, visitor services interns would work alongside National Park Service staff to greet and assist visitors at Manzanar. A major part of the role is public-facing: providing accurate information about the site, helping visitors understand what they are seeing, and supporting a positive and informative visitor experience. In addition to direct visitor contact, interns would collaborate with interpretation staff on behind-the-scenes needs such as maintaining and updating exhibit and media components. The description emphasizes that existing exhibits are aging, so intern support is intended to help keep interpretive materials functional, current, and presentable.
The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, and the activity category is listed under Natural Resources (CFDA 15.931). The only eligible applicants identified are nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). However, this notice is explicitly a "Notice of Intent to Award" and not an open request for applications. In other words, it is not a competitive grant solicitation; it serves as public notification that the National Park Service plans to fund this work through an existing cooperative agreement with GBI. The posting lists an expected single award with a maximum amount (award ceiling) of $49,976.
The notice was created on August 11, 2019, and the closing language reinforces that no applications are being accepted because the award is being made under an already established agreement. Overall, the project is a targeted effort to add capacity at Manzanar for visitor contact and interpretive support, while also helping preserve the quality and usefulness of exhibit and media areas that require routine attention and updates.Apply for P19AS00349
