Opportunity Summary:
The BLM OR WA Inner City Youth Institute Program (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00193) is a discretionary Bureau of Land Management grant offered through a cooperative agreement to support a long-term youth development effort focused on natural resources and public lands. The core purpose of the program is to serve underrepresented and underserved teens, along with younger peers they influence, by engaging them in hands-on learning tied to natural and cultural resource management. By grounding youth experiences in conservation, protection, and stewardship of public lands, the program aims to build lasting appreciation for these resources and help cultivate the next generation of public land stewards.
A central emphasis of the opportunity is education and workforce preparation. The program uses real natural and cultural resource contexts as a platform for building STEM skills (science, technology, engineering, and math). These activities are intended to strengthen academic progress, increase sustained participation in science and natural resource learning, and expand awareness of and entry into related college programs and career pathways in natural resources management. In practical terms, the grant is designed to fund programming that does more than offer a one-time experience; it supports an ongoing, positive youth program model that connects learning, mentoring, and exposure to land management work in ways that can influence long-term educational and career choices.
The funding is associated with the Natural Resources activity category and carries CFDA number 15.224 (Cultural Resource Management). The opportunity anticipated making one award. The estimated total funding amount listed is $225,000, with an award ceiling of $28,817 and an award floor of $1. The opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching. Eligibility was limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, signaling that the BLM intended to partner with public colleges and universities that could provide the organizational infrastructure, educational capacity, and community access needed to operate and sustain the youth institute model.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on July 30, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 27, 2014, and an archive date of July 29, 2015.
