BLM OR/WA Medford District Youth Partnership, Oregon | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The BLM OR/WA Medford District Youth Partnership, Oregon (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00214) is a Bureau of Land Management cooperative agreement aimed at creating hands-on, career-oriented work opportunities for youth tied directly to the day-to-day mission of the Medford District in Oregon. The core idea is not to field a large youth crew for a single project, but to place one or two youth on specific projects so they can receive closer mentoring and build practical, resume-ready experience in federal land and resource management work.

The program is structured to expose participating youth to a broad range of professional pathways that exist within BLM operations and closely related partner environments such as soil and water conservation districts (SWCDs). Depending on project needs, youth may gain experience in natural resources, engineering, physical sciences, geographic information systems (GIS), and administrative functions that keep field programs running. The work areas described in the announcement include fisheries management, agriculture, hydrology and water quality, forestry and silviculture, GIS mapping and spatial analysis, and a wide array of administrative and operational disciplines such as personnel processes, procurement, budgeting, safety programs, hazardous materials (hazmat) procedures, and warehousing. It also highlights lands and realty work (often involving land tenure, rights-of-way, and property-related actions), invasive species management, and rangeland management, reflecting the Medford Districts on-the-ground priorities and the multidisciplinary nature of public land stewardship.

From a funding and award standpoint, this opportunity is listed as discretionary and uses a cooperative agreement instrument, which generally indicates active involvement and collaboration between the BLM and the selected recipient during project implementation. The opportunity falls under a natural resources activity category and is tied to CFDA number 15.225 (Recreation Resource Management). The announcement anticipates a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $58,000. Individual award amounts are described with an award floor of $1,000 and an award ceiling of $8,000, suggesting projects or placements may be funded in smaller increments depending on scope and the specific youth placement plan proposed. No cost sharing or matching is required, which can reduce barriers for organizations that want to participate but may not have non-federal funds available.

Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning the opportunity is broadly open to many entity types, although applicants are still expected to follow any further eligibility clarifications included in the full announcement materials. The timeline in the source information shows the opportunity was posted on August 21, 2013, with an original and current closing date of September 13, 2013, and it was later archived on August 20, 2014. The announcement directs applicants to the application materials available via the application tab in the original posting, and it provides a point of contact for assistance: Jessica Clark at 503-808-6226 and j1clark@blm.gov, particularly for applicants who have trouble accessing the announcement electronically.

Overall, the grant is designed as a practical workforce development and engagement effort: placing small numbers of youth into real BLM-related projects where they can build technical skills, learn how public land agencies function, and explore multiple career tracks ranging from field science and resource monitoring to GIS and federal administrative operations.
