Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), through its Coos Bay District in Oregon, offered a discretionary grant opportunity titled "BLM OR WA Resource Assistants for Natural Resource Management and Conservation Projects, Coos Bay" (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00142). The program is designed to fund and run hands-on, youth-focused natural resource projects that place participants in real field and public-lands work settings. The core idea is to give young people practical exposure to natural resources management, conservation, preservation, and protection so they can build skills, understand how land management decisions are made, and develop a long-term conservation ethic.
Projects supported under this opportunity are framed as professional development experiences and can run anywhere from 16 weeks to 52 weeks, depending on the specific assignment. The BLM describes these projects as a way to build the next generation of public-lands stewards by pairing experiential learning with structured support. Training and development are expected to come through internships and resource assistant placements, mentoring by professionals, environmental education, and interpretive or educational outreach opportunities. In practice, that means participants are not just doing field tasks; they are also learning the policies, processes, and standards that guide conservation and land management on public lands.
From a funding and award standpoint, the opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) using a cooperative agreement, which typically implies substantial involvement by the federal agency during implementation. The estimated total funding amount listed was $500,000, with an award ceiling of $6,000 and an award floor of $1 (as reported in the source listing). The activity category is Natural Resources, and the CFDA number associated with the program is 15.225 (Recreation Resource Management). No cost sharing or matching requirement was indicated, meaning applicants were not required to provide matching funds as a condition of eligibility.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, described as open to any type of entity, subject to any additional clarification in the full announcement. The posting date and creation date were both June 12, 2014, with an original and current closing date of July 9, 2014. The opportunity was later archived on June 11, 2016. Applicants were directed to the full announcement and application package via the "Application" tab in the source system, and the listed point of contact for access issues was Sheri Dowley, Grants Management Specialist, at 503-808-6243 or sdowley@blm.gov.
Overall, this grant opportunity centers on building capacity in youth conservation and land management by funding structured, mentored, work-based learning placements tied to BLM Coos Bay District priorities. It emphasizes workforce development and environmental stewardship at the same time, with the broader goal of strengthening collaboration across individuals, nonprofits, private organizations, and government agencies to improve and preserve natural resources and ecosystems.
