Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS NOIP18AC00168
The National Park Service (NPS), under the Department of the Interior, is offering a cooperative agreement opportunity titled "Engage Youth in Preservation Work at Quincy Mine NHL - KEWE" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP18AC00168, CFDA 15.931). The project is centered on the Quincy Mining Company National Historic Landmark (NHL) District and is designed to pair hands-on historic preservation work with youth workforce development. In practical terms, the agreement supports putting together a supervised summer youth crew that will help the Quincy Mine Hoist Association (QMHA) carry out preservation maintenance tied to the district's cultural landscapes, historic structures, and museum collections.
The core of the project is a paid, structured work-and-learning experience in heritage conservation and construction. The planned crew includes six high school-aged participants, each working for nine weeks during the summer season. A dedicated youth work leader will be employed for 13 weeks, which builds in extra time for training, project setup, coordination with partners, and proper project closeout. The emphasis is not only on completing needed maintenance tasks, but on teaching participants the fundamentals of preservation-focused construction work, including how to plan and execute projects in a way that stays on schedule, remains within budget, and meets the level of craftsmanship expected for historic properties, especially those recognized on the National Register of Historic Places.
A key feature of this opportunity is the quality-control and standards component. NPS indicates it will collaborate with the selected recipient to ensure the training and fieldwork meet or exceed the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties and the accompanying Guidelines. That means the work is expected to follow nationally accepted preservation practices, with attention to protecting historic materials, using appropriate methods, and avoiding changes that could undermine the integrity of historic resources.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement, but the description clearly highlights a specific, well-positioned partner: Child and Family Services of NW Michigan (Youth Works). This organization serves youth across a 16-county region in northwest Lower Michigan and is presented as uniquely qualified for a preservation-focused youth program because of its connection to the HistoriCorps Institute, an education and training organization recognized nationally for preservation education. The way the opportunity is framed suggests NPS is looking for an entity with demonstrated capacity to recruit youth, provide supervision and support, and deliver credible preservation training in a real-world work setting.
Financially, the opportunity lists an award ceiling of $40,753 and anticipates making a single award. The posting was created on June 13, 2018, with an original closing date of June 17, 2018, indicating a short application window. Overall, this grant opportunity is aimed at meeting two goals at once: advancing preservation maintenance needs at the Quincy Mining Company NHL District while giving local high school youth meaningful job experience and marketable skills rooted in professional historic preservation standards.Apply for NPS NOIP18AC00168
