Opportunity Summary:
The BLM OR-WA - 4-H International Summer Camp opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L16AS00023) is a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (DOI-BLM). It is offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the BLM expects to have an active role in supporting or coordinating parts of the project rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The program falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA 15.225.
The core purpose of the opportunity is to advance the Department of the Interior Youth Initiative, which is designed to expand programs that engage, educate, and employ young people from all backgrounds in exploring, connecting with, and helping preserve public lands and shared natural and cultural resources. In this case, BLM is partnering with Oregon's long-established 4-H Program at Oregon State University, using the 4-H International Summer Camp as the main vehicle for delivering hands-on learning experiences that connect youth to nature and build practical skills, with a strong emphasis on reaching underserved participants.
Program goals focus on both environmental education and longer-term career pathways. The agreement aims to increase youth and young adult awareness and appreciation of forest and aquatic ecosystems in the Pacific Northwest through academic and experiential learning, while also working to increase participation among under-represented racial and ethnic minority youth and young adults who may be interested in academic and professional careers in science and natural resources. Beyond exposure to ecosystems and conservation concepts, the camp and associated activities are intended to support youth leadership development, college and workforce preparation, and targeted outreach to underserved audiences, tying environmental learning to concrete next steps like education planning and career exploration.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning any type of applicant entity may apply, subject to any additional eligibility details that might appear in the full announcement text. The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an award ceiling of $15,000. The posting date and creation date were both January 25, 2016, and the application deadline was March 25, 2016 (with the original and current closing dates matching).
