Opportunity Summary:
The BLM CA King Range National Conservation Area Youth Nicks Interns grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L16AS00029) is a Bureau of Land Management (DOI-BLM) discretionary funding program designed to connect local youth with real-world conservation and public lands work in and around the King Range National Conservation Area in California. The central purpose is career exposure and workforce development: participants are introduced to conservation and natural resource careers by doing hands-on projects that build practical skills, self-confidence, and a clearer understanding of what resource management jobs look like within government agencies and partner organizations. By placing youth in meaningful field-based roles, the program aims to create a direct pathway from community stewardship to longer-term education and employment in natural resources.
The opportunity emphasizes community-based conservation outcomes alongside youth development. Interns are supported in gaining experience in local watershed restoration efforts and in taking part in recreation and public land restoration projects that benefit public resources. A key feature is mentoring: BLM and partner agencies provide resource professionals who guide interns through technical work and introduce them to professional standards and career options in fields like land management, conservation, and related natural resource disciplines. In addition to improving the condition and usability of public lands, the program is also framed as a rural community strengthening effort, tying conservation projects to education, workforce readiness, and economic development.
Funding is offered through a cooperative agreement, reflecting an expectation of substantial involvement and collaboration between the recipient and the BLM in carrying out the work. The funding activity category is Natural Resources (CFDA 15.225). The award ceiling listed is $200,000, with one expected award. The program itself is described as supported through multiple sources, including BLM funding, private fundraising, and grants, highlighting a blended approach to sustaining the internship and project model over time.
Eligibility for applicants is limited to nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS (other than institutions of higher education). The opportunity was posted and created on February 2, 2016, and the closing date for applications was April 2, 2016. Overall, the grant supports a structured youth internship model where conservation mentorship and on-the-ground restoration and recreation work combine to prepare participants for future careers, with past participants reportedly moving on to successful paths including natural resource management.
