Opportunity Summary:
The Oregon Youth Employment and Education - Public Land Resource Management opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00353) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) cooperative agreement program focused on improving BLM-managed public lands in Oregon while creating paid employment, community service, and outdoor education experiences for young people. The basic idea is to pair youth workforce development with hands-on conservation and land stewardship work that directly supports BLM priorities. Through these projects, youth gain practical job skills and exposure to natural resource careers, while BLM benefits from on-the-ground work that strengthens recreation sites, protects habitats, and improves the condition of public land resources.
This is a discretionary funding opportunity under the Natural Resources activity category, with an estimated total funding amount of $500,000 and an expectation of about five awards. Individual awards are anticipated to range from a minimum (award floor) of $1 up to a maximum (award ceiling) of $90,000. The instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which generally means BLM expects to be actively involved in the project beyond simply providing funds, often through coordination, technical input, or shared planning. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, so applicants are not required to provide a cash or in-kind match to be eligible.
The work supported by this funding spans several BLM program areas reflected in the CFDA numbers included in the announcement. These include cultural resource management (15.224), recreation resource management (15.225), invasive and noxious plant management (15.230), fish, wildlife, and plant conservation resource management (15.231), and rangeland resource management (15.237). In practical terms, that can translate into youth crews doing things like trail and campground maintenance, signage and visitor-use improvements, habitat restoration tasks, invasive species removal, riparian or range improvement work, and other field projects that help sustain recreation opportunities and conserve ecological values on public lands. The overarching emphasis is dual-purpose: meaningful youth development and measurable benefits to BLM lands and programs.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning any entity type may apply as long as they meet any requirements stated in the full announcement. Even so, the agency notes that it anticipates an organization in the youth conservation corps space is the most likely award recipient, particularly one that can connect with multiple local youth organizations across Oregon. That language signals that BLM is looking for applicants with proven capacity to recruit, supervise, train, and support youth participants at scale, and to coordinate partnerships statewide rather than operating in only one small area. It also implies a preference for applicants experienced in field safety, crew management, outdoor education, and delivering conservation projects reliably on public lands.
Key dates in the announcement show it was posted and created on September 13, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 20, 2010, and it was later archived on September 10, 2011. The listing points applicants to Grants.gov for the full announcement and application materials. For assistance accessing the announcement, the listed contact is Walter Ullrey, Agreements Specialist, at 503-808-6230 or wullrey@blm.gov. Overall, this opportunity is structured to invest in youth employment and learning while advancing BLM’s day-to-day land management needs in recreation, habitat and species conservation, invasive plant control, rangeland health, and stewardship of cultural and natural resources across Oregon.
