    The National Park Service (NPS) announces its intent to fund a project by the Greening Youth Foundation (GYF) to hire four interns focused on African-American heritage research at National Capital Parks-East. This initiative aims to improve visitor information, support research projects, enhance social media engagement, and develop programing related to the historic significance of the area. The total grant amount is $38,000, with a cost-sharing requirement of 25%, planned for a duration of eight months from February to September 2016. The project further intends to involve GYF in recruiting diverse interns, preparing financial reports, and giving them orientation regarding the NPS's mission. The grant bypasses competitive bidding due to it being an extension of a previously established agreement, which is justifiable under existing Department of the Interior policies. The initiative highlights the importance of preserving and promoting African-American history within U.S. national parks while providing mentorship opportunities for youth.
