Opportunity Information: Apply for L19AS00030
The BLM OR/WA Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands grant (Funding Opportunity Number L19AS00030) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management, focused on natural resource work in Oregon and Washington. The program is designed to support projects that bring youth participants from local and nearby communities onto public lands to complete conservation and stewardship work that protects important resource values while also reinforcing the Bureau of Land Management's multiple-use mission. In practical terms, this means funded projects are expected to help care for public lands in ways that balance conservation with ongoing, traditional land uses, rather than treating those goals as competing priorities.
A central purpose of the opportunity is workforce development tied directly to on-the-ground public lands projects. The BLM emphasizes that youth involvement should translate into real job-related benefits: job creation, exposure to public land management careers, and opportunities to gain practical skills and experience. The intent is both economic and educational, aiming to strengthen local and regional economies while helping young people build resumes, learn technical and professional skills, and get experience working as part of structured crews or project teams in field settings.
Funding is offered through cooperative agreements, which generally indicates a more hands-on partnership model between the award recipient and the federal agency compared to a standard grant. The award ceiling is $350,000 per award, and BLM anticipated making about 35 awards under this announcement. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number associated with the program is 15.243, placing it within BLM assistance programs related to managing and improving public lands and resources.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning the opportunity is broadly open to many types of entities, subject to any additional eligibility details that may be provided in the full announcement's clarification language. The competition opened May 2, 2019, and ran through August 31, 2019, with multiple submission deadlines structured as four rounds. Applications were due June 2, 2019 for Round One, July 2, 2019 for Round Two, August 2, 2019 for Round Three, and August 31, 2019 for Round Four, allowing applicants multiple chances to apply within the overall open period.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a public lands youth engagement and conservation workforce initiative for Oregon and Washington. It funds projects that put youth to work on BLM-related conservation and land stewardship tasks, build career pathways and transferable job skills, and support the long-term health and usability of public lands while maintaining the multiple-use approach that includes protecting natural and cultural resources alongside established land uses.Apply for L19AS00030
