Opportunity Summary:
The Educational Internships Youth Initiative, Alaska (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00323) was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary grant opportunity designed to support environmental education internships that strengthen classroom learning while building students connection to public lands. The central idea was to have young adults serve as interns who help develop and deliver educational programs that encourage children to learn about Alaska's natural and cultural resources, understand how public lands are managed, and explore potential career pathways in natural and cultural resource fields. Alongside education and outreach, the internships could also include hands-on resource management components, such as assisting BLM staff with scientific studies or other resource-related projects that support on-the-ground management objectives.
BLM intended to partner with school districts and youth-focused nonprofit organizations, using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. The program emphasized practical, real-world learning that complements what students do in the classroom, with interns acting as a bridge between schools, communities, and public lands. By combining environmental education with exposure to professional resource management work, the initiative sought to both improve youth understanding of conservation and stewardship and to spark longer-term interest in natural resource careers, including culturally focused fields tied to heritage and land use.
The opportunity was listed under the Natural Resources funding activity category and referenced CFDA 15.224 (Cultural Resource Management). BLM anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $200,000. The maximum award amount (ceiling) was $200,000 and the minimum award amount (floor) was $55,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated, which meant applicants were not required to provide a specific non-federal match as a condition of funding.
Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning the competition was broadly open to many entity types, with the note that applicants should still review any additional eligibility details included in the full announcement. The opportunity was posted on August 26, 2010, and closed on September 16, 2010, with an archive date of October 31, 2010. For access issues or assistance with the announcement, the listed grants management contact was Sandee Smith, Grants Management Officer at BLM, reachable at 907-271-5193 or sandeesmith@blm.gov.
