Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00635
The ANTIETAM NATIONAL BATTLEFIELD-EDUCATION PROGRAM I opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00635) is a National Park Service (NPS), Department of the Interior action to add funding through a modification to an existing, already-competed cooperative agreement. It falls under the discretionary category and uses a Cooperative Agreement funding instrument, with an activity focus listed as employment, labor, and training (CFDA 15.931). Although the eligible applicant type is described as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit (other than institutions of higher education), the notice makes clear this is not an open solicitation or a request for applications. Instead, it serves as formal notification that NPS intends to issue a modification to a task agreement under Cooperative Agreement Number P15AC00012 with Citizens Conservation Corps, Inc. The modification’s purpose is to add funds, up to an award ceiling of $30,000, with one expected award, to complete the described statement of work.
A central administrative component included in the modified statement of work is authorization for grantee, contractor, and subcontractor employees to use Government motor vehicles strictly for official, grant-related duties. This language references NPS Director’s Order 44, paragraph 3.14, and sets clear boundaries: vehicles may only be used for authorized work, the grantee must establish and enforce appropriate penalties for willful misuse, and the grantee must assume any costs tied to non-official use without seeking reimbursement from the federal government. In practice, this provision is meant to ensure interns and staff can travel as needed to deliver programs and coordinate with schools while maintaining accountability, compliance, and proper cost responsibility.
Programmatically, the funding supports education-focused internship work at Antietam National Battlefield (often abbreviated as ANTI). The interns’ primary role is to help develop and expand the park’s "Parks as Classrooms" offerings and to strengthen relationships with neighboring schools to increase student visitation to the battlefield. A major emphasis is on delivering curriculum-based, hands-on learning experiences that connect classroom standards to on-site history and resources. The scope is broad in terms of audiences, ranging from preschool groups through college students, and it also includes outreach to K-12 students and organized summer youth groups. The project is also designed to expand Youth and Family programming throughout the year, not just during peak visitation seasons.
The day-to-day duties described combine formal education programming with public-facing visitor services and interpretation. Interns are expected to present more than a dozen distinct types of hands-on, curriculum-based "Parks as Classrooms" programs, indicating a structured menu of offerings rather than a single presentation. They will also support the park visitor center by delivering 30-minute Battlefield Orientation Talks, staffing or assisting at the information desk, offering informal interpretation to visitors, and presenting living history programs. The living history component is described as third-person interpretation, which typically means interpreters speak as knowledgeable educators rather than portraying a specific historical character, allowing them to provide context, answer questions, and connect historical themes to modern audiences.
Operationally, the interns also serve as a point of contact for the education program’s logistics. They will respond to teacher inquiries and handle scheduling for on-site and off-site field trips, which is an important part of increasing school participation and ensuring programs are well coordinated. In addition to structured programs and scheduling support, the project includes a seasonal youth engagement feature: interns will operate a Youth Activities Tent during the summer at Antietam, providing a dedicated, family-friendly space for educational activities aimed at youth visitors. Supporting all of these responsibilities is an expectation that interns will study assigned research materials and build an accurate, in-depth understanding of 19th-century American history relevant to Antietam, enabling them to present content confidently and accurately across different age groups and learning settings.
In short, this grant action is a targeted funding modification to sustain and expand education and youth programming at Antietam National Battlefield through internship-supported curriculum development, increased school partnerships and visitation, visitor center interpretation, living history presentations, and summer youth engagement activities, with explicit compliance requirements for the use of government vehicles in carrying out these official duties.Apply for P18AS00635
