Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00086
The Northwest Youth Corp (NYC) American Sign Language (ASL) Program is a National Park Service discretionary funding opportunity (U.S. Department of the Interior) designed to make youth work experiences fully accessible to deaf and hard of hearing participants. The core purpose is to ensure these youth can take part in the same kind of hands-on, enriching work programs available to their hearing peers, without communication barriers limiting their learning, safety, or social inclusion.
The program focuses on practical accessibility measures that have already proven effective. Funding supports accessible communication by hiring professional ASL interpreters who also serve in leadership roles (such as crew leaders), and by providing interpretation across the full range of program activities. This includes major milestones like orientation and graduation, as well as routine and essential elements such as program presentations, question-and-answer sessions, skills trainings, safety trainings, recreation and games, weekend site activities, and general day-to-day group interactions. The emphasis is not just on classroom-style interpretation, but on ensuring communication access is present wherever learning, teamwork, and relationship-building happen.
This opportunity was structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the National Park Service would typically expect an active partnership role rather than simply issuing a check and stepping away. The funding activity area is listed under education, employment, labor, and training, reflecting that the program is fundamentally about workforce exposure and skill-building in a supportive environment. The opportunity is associated with CFDA 15.931 and was originally posted under funding opportunity number P19AS00086.
In terms of scale, the opportunity anticipated a single award with an award ceiling of $27,000. The description also notes that the approach has worked extremely well but serves a limited number of youth each year, suggesting the funding is intended to support a focused, high-quality experience rather than a large-volume program. The posting date is April 2, 2019, and it explicitly states that no applications will be accepted, indicating it is not currently open for competition. Eligibility is broadly categorized as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced in the original notice.Apply for P19AS00086
