Opportunity Information: Apply for L22AS00174
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Idaho Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands grant (Funding Opportunity Number L22AS00174) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of the Interior focused on supporting youth conservation corps work on BLM-managed public lands in Idaho. The award is offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the BLM expects to be actively involved with the recipient in planning, coordinating, and carrying out the projects rather than simply issuing a pass-through grant with minimal federal engagement. The overall purpose is to develop and administer multiple-use conservation projects that both advance BLMs natural and cultural resource mission and create structured, paid, skill-building opportunities for young people.
The central requirement is that projects must be designed around employment, education, and public-service opportunities for U.S. citizens and legal residents between ages 16 and 30 (inclusive), with an expanded age limit for veterans up to age 35 (inclusive). Participants should be recruited from local and surrounding communities, reinforcing the programs community benefit and workforce-development intent. The work is expected to occur in natural or cultural resource settings on public lands, aligning with BLM stewardship priorities while giving participants real-world experience in conservation and land management.
Eligibility is narrow and specifically tied to the concept of a "qualified youth or conservation corps." Applicants must be a youth conservation corps established by a state or local government, the governing body of an Indian tribe, or a qualified nonprofit organization capable of running a corps-style program. While the source data lists many governmental and institutional categories as potentially eligible, the narrative language emphasizes that only qualified youth conservation corps entities may respond and that no other entities are eligible. Nonprofit applicants are required to provide documentation of IRS Section 501(c)(3) status determination as part of their application materials, which functions as a basic compliance and eligibility check for nonprofit organizations.
A "qualified" corps program, as defined in the opportunity text, must be able to provide meaningful, full-time, productive work for the target age group in a natural or cultural resource context. It must also offer more than just labor; participants should receive a mix of hands-on work experience, education, training, basic life skills development, and supportive services. The program should explicitly support BLMs mission and be structured so that participants build transferable skills and work habits that remain valuable beyond the project itself, benefiting their communities and long-term employability.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.243. The opportunity was created on February 4, 2022, with an original closing date of April 5, 2022. The listed award ceiling is $34,000. The notice indicates expected awards but does not provide a specific number in the provided source data, suggesting that award count may depend on available funding, project scope, and the quality of applications received.
In practical terms, this opportunity is designed for organizations that already operate (or can credibly operate) a structured corps model and can place youth crews onto BLM public lands for conservation and stewardship work while delivering supervised training, education, and workforce-development support. The BLM is looking for partners who can responsibly manage participants, deliver measurable conservation outcomes, and provide a well-rounded service and learning experience that prepares young people and veterans for future employment and civic engagement.Apply for L22AS00174
