Opportunity Information: Apply for P23AS00091
The Community Volunteer Ambassador Program is a discretionary federal funding opportunity from the National Park Service (NPS) designed to support work aligned with employment, labor, and training priorities. It is offered under Funding Opportunity Number P23AS00091 and is funded through a cooperative agreement, which generally means the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project during the period of performance (for example, coordination, technical input, or shared oversight), rather than operating strictly as a hands-off grantor.
This opportunity is listed under CFDA (Assistance Listing) 15.931. While the provided notice text does not include a detailed program narrative beyond the title, the focus implied by "Community Volunteer Ambassador Program" typically points to organizing, training, and deploying community-based volunteers who can serve as ambassadors, helping strengthen connections between local communities and public lands or park-related initiatives. Because the activity category is Employment, Labor and Training, the supported work may emphasize volunteer development as a pathway to skill building, workforce readiness, community engagement capacity, and structured service experiences that can complement broader public service and stewardship goals.
Eligible applicants are limited to certain types of organizations: public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions when applying as nonprofits). This eligibility profile suggests the program is intended to be implemented by organizations with established infrastructure for training, supervision, and community programming, such as universities, colleges, and mission-driven nonprofits that can recruit volunteers, provide structured learning or service components, and manage partnerships.
The maximum federal funding amount (award ceiling) listed is $2,800,000. The notice does not specify the number of anticipated awards (the field is present but no value is provided), so it is not possible from the provided data alone to tell whether NPS planned to make one large award or multiple smaller awards. The opportunity was created on 2022-11-17, and the original application closing date was 2023-02-17, indicating a relatively standard application window of roughly three months.
In practical terms, an applicant considering this opportunity would typically be expected to propose a clear program design for recruiting and training volunteer ambassadors, describe how ambassadors will be supported and supervised, outline community and partner engagement strategies, and present measurable outcomes tied to volunteer participation and training-related impacts. Since the instrument is a cooperative agreement, applicants would also generally need to be prepared for ongoing collaboration with NPS staff and to align program activities with NPS priorities and operational requirements throughout implementation.Apply for P23AS00091
