Unless otherwise specified herein, the terms and conditions as stated in the Cooperative Agreement will apply to this Task Agreement. Eleven (11) qualified participants will take part in a 47-week-long program in support of projects and locations where the NPS Conservation Assistance (RTCA) and other NPS programs are providing technical assistance. Each Fellow will gain an apprenticeship opportunity that includes efforts to engage young people in projects that support community-led natural resource conservation and outdoor recreation projects. Local-area recruitment will be assumed. This task is an ongoing and long-term project where the need for incremental funding and additional time is anticipated but will be subject to funding availability. Subsequent requests for additional time or funding associated with this task must receive prior approval of the Awarding Officer and will be authorized by modification to this Agreement. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT CL agrees to: 1. and support qualified individuals who are acceptable to the supervising NPS staff. Participants will perform a variety of duties related to RTCA or other NPS program projects and activities, which may include: resource inventory and analysis; preparation of maps, resource inventories, and other project visuals by hand or utilizing computerized information systems; information exchange with public and professional audiences; assistance with organization and logistical support of planning workshops and public meetings; and preparation of conceptual designs related to site management and conservation alternatives, under the direction and support of COR staff. 2. Assist in recruiting and welcoming candidates who have strong interest and potential to contribute to these projects, and have attained qualifications and experience that would allow full performance in the near term. 3. Provide a stipend for subsistence to each participant, an allowance to defray daily commuting expenses, a travel allowance to provide funding for duty-related travel for project work and training opportunities, a housing stipend appropriate to the cost of local housing, and injury and liability insurance coverage. 4. Plan and deliver, in close coordination with NPS personnel, appropriate training to participants and key NPS staff. 5.
