Opportunity Summary:
The BLM AZ San Miguel High School Intern Program (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00288) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Arizona grant opportunity offered as a cooperative agreement to support an internship and workforce-development partnership connecting BLM with San Miguel High School and, potentially, a nonprofit partner. It is described as a continuation of a prior effort (L14AS00152) and is designed to place students, interns, volunteers, and entry-level professionals alongside BLM staff to gain practical experience while helping the agency carry out on-the-ground public land management work. The overall intent is to build a steady pipeline of trained young people who can contribute meaningful labor and learn how complex land management decisions are made in real settings.
The program is centered on improving BLM capacity for recreation and resource management by pairing education and training with direct project support. BLM highlights several reasons for the partnership: strengthening the scientific and technical basis for managing recreation, natural resources, and cultural resources; ensuring current research and best practices inform field decisions; building an ongoing, efficient relationship between BLM and an educational institution or nonprofit; and giving students direct interaction with federal professionals so they can understand day-to-day resource stewardship and potentially shape long-term career goals. Another key aim is cost-effective public land management through practical tasks such as inventorying and monitoring resources, assessing site conditions, interpreting and educating the public, and sharing information that supports management of public lands and National Landscape Conservation System (NLCS) units for public benefit.
Most of the work supported by this agreement is expected to be field-based. Activities may include assisting BLM with recreation projects, interpretation and visitor information, environmental education, travel management work, and projects tied to cultural resources, wildlife biology, botany, and other natural or cultural resource priorities. Participants are intended to work under the supervision of professional staff, gaining structured experience while contributing labor to active projects. The announcement also notes that internships and volunteer roles may be seasonal or project-specific, while entry-level professional roles could be seasonal or extend longer depending on available funding. In addition to field support, the program references administrative assistance in BLM offices as part of the San Miguel High School Corporate Internship Program model, where interns help with office duties and also support staff through field project work.
In terms of outcomes, the project is meant to give participants hands-on exposure to complex public land management issues and build foundational experience that helps them make informed long-term career decisions. From BLMs perspective, the agreement expands the agencys ability to complete inventory, monitoring, implementation, and public education efforts, which in turn improves resource protection, recreation planning, and public understanding of available opportunities on BLM-managed lands. The partnership element is emphasized as an ongoing relationship that can support student development, recruitment, and future service opportunities between BLM and the recipient organization.
The opportunity was posted July 31, 2014, with applications due through Grants.gov by August 6, 2014 at 5:00 PM Pacific Standard Time, and late submissions were not considered. It anticipated a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $100,000, with an award ceiling of $100,000 and an award floor of $6,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding activity category is Natural Resources and the CFDA number listed is 15.225 (Recreation Resource Management). Eligibility is described as unrestricted in the listing, with the eligibility section stating "Anyone," though the project narrative clearly indicates BLMs intent to partner with a high school and a nonprofit organization to deliver the internship and support structure. For official access to the full announcement, the listing directs applicants to Grants.gov, and the contact provided for assistance is Eddie W. Bell Jr., Grants Management Officer, at 602-417-9268 or ebell@blm.gov.
