Opportunity Summary:
The BLM Colorado Youth Engagement and Volunteer Project (Funding Opportunity Number L15AS00137) is a Bureau of Land Management discretionary funding opportunity intended to involve youth in hands-on stewardship and educational experiences connected to Colorado public lands. The core purpose is to support youth engagement through conservation projects and related activities that help protect, study, and interpret both natural resources (such as habitats, wildlife, watersheds, and recreation areas) and cultural resources (such as historic sites and archeological areas). Projects under this opportunity are framed around practical work and learning, including conservation field projects, research support, education and outreach, and other tasks associated with managing and caring for public lands.
Funding is offered through a cooperative agreement, which generally means the BLM expects to have substantial involvement during the project rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The program is listed under CFDA 15.225, Recreation Resource Management, and the funding activity category is described as “Cultural and Natural Resources,” reflecting the dual focus on resource stewardship and public engagement. The opportunity anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $100,000. The award ceiling is $100,000, while the award floor is $1,500, indicating the agency was willing to consider either a single full-scale project or smaller efforts depending on the proposal. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier for organizations that may not have additional funds to contribute.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is broadly open to applicants (subject to any additional eligibility details that may be included in the full announcement). This structure suggests the BLM was aiming to attract a wide range of capable partners that can effectively recruit, train, and manage youth and volunteers for meaningful conservation and education work. The original posting date was May 29, 2015, with the closing date ultimately set to August 10, 2015, and the opportunity archived on September 9, 2015. Applicants were directed to download full instructions and the application package via the application materials associated with the announcement.
