Opportunity Information: Apply for L19AS00033
The Arizona Bureau of Land Management (BLM), under the U.S. Department of the Interior, offered a discretionary funding opportunity called "Arizona BLM Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands" (Funding Opportunity Number L19AS00033). The program was designed to fund cooperative agreements that build collaborative partnerships with qualified youth conservation corps organizations to carry out conservation work on eligible public lands in Arizona while developing the next generation of natural resource professionals.
At its core, the opportunity focused on engaging young people ages 16 to 30, with an explicit interest in reaching individuals from diverse backgrounds, including tribal youth and veterans. Through these partnerships, the BLM aimed to get youth into meaningful, hands-on conservation projects that are both practical and cost-effective, while also giving participants real exposure to public service and the broader mission of caring for the nation’s natural and cultural resources. The intent was not only to complete on-the-ground projects, but to build awareness, pride, and long-term connection to public lands and conservation values.
A major emphasis of the grant was workforce development. Projects supported under this opportunity were expected to help participants gain specific, career-relevant skills and certifications that improve employability in natural resource and land management careers. In addition to field experience, the program sought to expand participants’ educational pathways by linking them to higher education options, job-entry training, and other stepping-stone opportunities that can turn a short-term conservation experience into a longer-term career track.
The BLM also highlighted mentorship and professional exposure as a key outcome. By working alongside conservation professionals and interacting with land management agencies, participants would be introduced to conservation career options in a realistic way, learn what day-to-day work looks like, and begin building professional networks that can support future employment.
Administratively, this opportunity fell under the Natural Resources funding activity category and CFDA number 15.243. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to a wide range of entity types, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications in the full announcement. The opportunity was posted on July 8, 2019, with an original closing date of September 6, 2019. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) was $1,054,000, and the BLM anticipated making approximately six awards, indicating an intent to fund multiple partnerships rather than a single statewide project.
Overall, the grant opportunity combined public land stewardship with youth employment and career development, aiming to deliver tangible conservation outcomes on BLM-managed lands while helping young adults build the skills, credentials, and professional connections needed to move into natural resource careers.Apply for L19AS00033
