Opportunity Summary:
The Lost Coast Youth Employment - King Range National Conservation Area grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00067) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding announcement that supports a youth employment and education program centered on fish, wildlife, and plant conservation resource management along Californias Lost Coast. The project is funded through BLMs Youth Initiative Incentive Funding Program, which is designed to introduce young people to real career pathways by putting them into hands-on outdoor work that builds practical skills, increases understanding of natural and cultural resources, and encourages long-term stewardship of public lands.
The program described in the announcement has three connected components. First, it includes development of a curriculum that can be used to teach participants about conservation topics relevant to the local landscape and BLM resource priorities. Second, it establishes a Junior Interpreter program, which typically means structured opportunities for youth to learn interpretive and public-facing skills, such as explaining natural and cultural features to visitors, helping with educational activities, and supporting stewardship messaging. Third, it incorporates native seed propagation, both as a stand-alone conservation activity and as an integrated part of the curriculum and Junior Interpreter experience. Together, these elements are meant to combine workforce development with direct conservation outcomes, giving youth experience that is both educational and job-relevant while also benefiting local ecosystems.
BLM intends to carry out the work cooperatively with a nonprofit partner and employ youth across a broad set of priority places: the Mattole River watershed, the King Range National Conservation Area (NCA), the California Coastal National Monument (CCNM), and the King Range Wilderness. In practical terms, that means the successful applicant would be expected to help recruit, hire, and supervise youth crews or participants; implement the educational and interpretive programming; and deliver on conservation work tied to native plants and habitat needs within these landscapes. Because the award instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, the announcement signals that BLM expects to have substantial involvement in the project rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back, so coordination with BLM staff and alignment with agency resource goals would be central to implementation.
Funding details indicate BLM expects to make one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $200,000. The award ceiling is $200,000 and the award floor is $500, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which can lower the barrier to entry for smaller nonprofits. The eligible applicant pool is limited to nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status that are not institutions of higher education, so the opportunity is specifically aimed at qualifying charitable organizations capable of running youth programs and conservation projects.
The opportunity was posted May 11, 2010, with a closing date ultimately set to June 11, 2010 (originally June 3, 2010), and an archive date of June 30, 2010. It is listed under CFDA 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management, and categorized under Natural Resources. Applicants were directed to Grants.gov for the full announcement, and the contact listed for access issues or questions was Leona B. Parker at 530-252-5338 or lparker@blm.gov.
