DETERMINATION FOR SINGLE SOURCE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AWARD I. IDENTIFYING INFORMATION TITLE: Engaging the Next Generation Community Coordinator Position SPONSORING PROGRAM OFFICE: Department of the Interior (DOI), Office of the Secretary, Assistant Secretary- Policy, Management and Budget AWARDING OFFICE: Acquisition Services Division IV; Denver, CO TYPE OF AWARD: Cooperative Agreement PROPOSED RECIPIENT: National Council of Young Men’s Christian Associations of the United States of America (Y-USA) PROJECT DURATION: Three (3) Years PROPOSED COST: $1,500,000 APPROPRIATIONS AUTHORITY: "Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2014" ( 113-76) INTERNAL AUTHORITY: Department of the Interior; Departmental Manual; Federal Assistance Programs Series; Part 505, Chapter 2; Effective January 9th, 2008 CFDA NUMBER: 15.154; 21st Century Conservation Service Corps II. PROJECT BACKGROUND AND DESCRIPTION a. Project Background: Interior Secretary Sally Jewell first outlined DOI’s youth initiative in a speech at the National Press Club where she emphasized the need to bridge the growing disconnect between young people and the great outdoors. The goals of DOI’s youth initiative for the next three years include: Play: Interior will develop or enhance outdoor recreation partnerships in a total of 50 cities over the next four years to create new, systemic opportunities for outdoor play for more than 10 million young people. Learn: Provide educational opportunities to at least 10 million of the nation’s K-12 student population annually. In addition to welcoming students into nature’s classroom, we are developing and strengthening new online education resources, to reach more students. Serve: Engage 1 million volunteers annually on public lands, effectively tripling the numbers we have now. We know that many more people are interested in volunteering at national parks, wildlife refuges and public lands, but there are often insufficient staff resources to coordinate them. In order to achieve the volunteer goal, we will place a renewed emphasis on volunteer coordination and management. Work: To develop the next generation of lifelong conservation stewards and ensure our own skilled and diverse workforce pipeline, Interior will provide 100,000 work & training opportunities to young people within our bureaus and through public-private partnerships. As part of this effort, we aim to raise an additional $20 million to support the youth work and training opportunities. The 21CSC, launched by the Obama Administration as part of the America’s Great Outdoors program, is a national collaborative effort to put America’s youth and veterans to work protecting, restoring and enhancing America’s natural and cultural resources. Already an initial group of 100 organizations have been endorsed as model organizations that embrace the guiding principles of 21CSC. b. Project Description and objectives: DOI recognizes the need to strengthen our involvement in connecting young people to nature and preparing the next generation of outdoor leaders. It is the intent of this Agreement to provide the Y-USA with funding assistance to and manage 50 Student and Conservation Corps leaders in support of DOI’s Youth Initiative to inspire millions of young people to and work outdoors. The 50 leaders will support non-profit organizations, community other agencies that work with local government, Federal agencies and others to engage young people and their families in outdoor recreation, environmental education and conservation programs. Each of the 50 Student and Conservation Corps leaders will be assigned to a Y senior staff person who has lead responsibilities for community coordination. The lead community coordinator in each city will be funded by a private donation. Interior will fund the 50 Student and Conservation Corps leaders that support the lead coordinators.
