Opportunity Information: Apply for W912DR25R0013
The USACE Raystown Lake Project Conservation Interns opportunity is a discretionary cooperative agreement being offered by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Baltimore District, to partner with a qualified nonprofit organization to support natural resource management and public water safety efforts at the Raystown Lake Project (RLP). The core purpose is to bring in and support two Conservation Interns who will gain hands-on training and education while helping USACE carry out day-to-day conservation and visitor-facing safety work at the lake. The effort is authorized under 33 USC 2339(a), which allows the Corps to enter assistance agreements for these types of public benefit programs.
The intern work is split into two main lanes. The first focuses on natural resources and land stewardship tasks such as wildlife management, monitoring threatened and endangered species, supporting fisheries management, improving and maintaining wildlife habitat, assisting with forest management activities, and helping with boundary inspection and maintenance. In practice, this can include field monitoring and data collection, habitat improvement projects, and on-the-ground support for managing public lands and protecting sensitive species and resources within the project area.
The second lane is centered on water safety and public outreach. Interns are expected to help promote safety programs by keeping bulletin boards current, maintaining life jacket loaner stations, organizing special events, and delivering interpretive programming. The role also includes roving interpretation and direct interaction with park visitors, along with communications work such as drafting news releases, potentially participating in radio interviews, supporting broader USACE safety campaigns, and helping develop public service announcements. Overall, the water safety portion blends public contact, education, and communications support with routine maintenance and event coordination.
Eligibility is limited to non-federal nonprofit organizations that have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. USACE expects to make one award under this opportunity, with an anticipated award ceiling of $24,000, and the selected nonprofit partner would manage or host the internship experience in coordination with USACE staff. The funding opportunity number is W912DR25R0013, the CFDA number listed is 12.010, and the application closing date is March 3, 2025.Apply for W912DR25R0013
