Opportunity Information: Apply for D15AC00006
The YMCA Engaging the Next Generation Community Coordinator Position is a cooperative agreement grant opportunity sponsored by the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI). The purpose of this initiative is to address the disconnect between youth and nature by connecting young people to outdoor recreation and conservation efforts. The grant, totaling $1.5 million over three years, is aimed at funding the recruitment, training, and management of 50 Student and Conservation Corps leaders.
These leaders will work on various projects that promote outdoor activities, environmental education, and volunteer engagement. They will collaborate with nonprofit organizations, local governments, and community groups to enhance programming that helps young people and families connect with public lands.
The funding for this project stems from the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2014, and there is a mandatory 25% cost-sharing requirement, which the Y USA has fulfilled through in-kind contributions. The initiative aligns with DOI’s broader goals to engage youth in conservation and promote lifelong stewardship of natural resources.
The YMCA has a strong history of partnership with the DOI, and the project emphasizes working with diverse groups, particularly young men of color, to inspire community involvement in outdoor activities. The project is justified as a single-source award given the YMCA's unique capabilities and experience in managing similar initiatives and federal funds.Apply for D15AC00006
