Opportunity Summary:
The Nature Based Youth Outings grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00091) is a discretionary Bureau of Land Management (BLM) cooperative agreement focused on recreation and natural resource management programming for youth. It is run through the BLM Lower Potomac Field Station (LPFS) and is designed to support Department of the Interior (DOI) and BLM youth initiatives by building partnerships that can deliver a structured summer program for at-risk and socioeconomically disadvantaged inner-city children in the Washington, DC area. The core idea is to use public lands and hands-on outdoor experiences to connect young people with nature, introduce them to healthy lifestyle habits, and help them understand what BLM does and why land stewardship matters.
Program activities emphasize experiential learning on local public lands, including both BLM-managed sites and selected National Park Service locations. The opportunity specifically mentions overnight campouts as a central component, giving participants extended time outdoors and a deeper immersion than a single-day trip would allow. Youth participating in the program may also attend workshops or activity stations covering practical conservation and environmental topics such as the importance of clean air, protecting watersheds, tree planting, and environmental recycling (including a "Catch and Release" recycling concept). The programming can also include outdoor skills and nature-based recreation, with examples listed such as fishing, basic horse care, and introductory horseback riding, all framed in a way that supports environmental awareness and personal well-being.
Funding for this opportunity totals an estimated 60,000 dollars, with the agency expecting to make about two awards. Individual awards are anticipated to range from a 10,000 dollar floor up to a 30,000 dollar ceiling. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates an active partnership role for the federal agency during project implementation rather than a hands-off relationship. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants, which lowers the barrier for community organizations that may not have significant cash or in-kind resources to meet a match.
Eligibility is aimed at nonprofit and similar organizations, with an emphasis on 501(c) entities and other organizations that focus on serving socioeconomically disadvantaged youth in the Washington, DC region. The opportunity was posted on May 18, 2010, with an original and current closing date of June 18, 2010, and it was later archived on December 1, 2010. The associated CFDA number is 15.225 (Recreation Resource Management). For official details and full announcement materials, the notice points applicants to Grants.gov, and it lists a BLM contact for access issues or questions: Velvette Clayton at 703-440-1741 or vclayton@blm.gov.
