Cooperative Agreement

Description

A. Project Goals ¿ The goal of the agreement is to provide educational and outdoor recreational activities in national parks to students in grades K-12. B. Project Objectives ¿ The goal will be achieved through expansion of the Buddy Bison program and the Kids to Parks Day National School Contest. These programs provide outdoor educational and recreational activities to youth from underserved and low socio-economic schools and communities. National Park Trust has successfully provided these programs to students from targeted urban areas and has entered into a memorandum of understanding with the National Park Service in 2013 to establish a framework to facilitate the planning and execution of these programs.
