Opportunity Information: Apply for L17AS00197
The grant opportunity titled "BLM-NM 2017 Youth Opportunities to Work on Conservation Projects on New Mexico Public Lands" (Funding Opportunity Number L17AS00197) was issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM). It is a discretionary funding opportunity offered through a cooperative agreement, meaning awardees would be expected to work in close coordination with BLM rather than operating entirely independently. The program sits within the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.243.
The core purpose of the opportunity is to fund qualified youth conservation corps and similar partners to place young people, specifically ages 16 through 30, into hands-on conservation work on BLM-managed public lands in New Mexico. BLM frames this as a continuation of an already successful youth program, with the intent to keep building out new projects and funding pathways that put youth crews to work on conservation-related needs. In practical terms, the focus is on engaging youth in projects connected to natural and cultural resource management, giving them direct exposure to the kind of fieldwork and stewardship activities that support public lands.
A central feature of the program is that it is not just a job placement effort, but a structured development experience. Projects are expected to provide participants with a blend of paid work experience along with education, training, and support services. Alongside technical and practical skills, the opportunity emphasizes personal and civic development: participants are meant to build citizenship values, gain confidence and transferable workplace skills, and develop a sense of service through work that benefits their community and the broader public. As participants gain experience with conservation and resource management tasks, the program also aims to deepen their appreciation for public lands and introduce them to conservation-related career fields they may pursue longer-term.
Eligibility is listed as "unrestricted," which signals that the competition is broadly open to applicants, subject to any additional eligibility language that may appear in the full notice. The opportunity was created on July 2, 2017, with an original application closing date of September 1, 2017. Financially, the opportunity listed an award ceiling of $500,000 and anticipated making two awards, suggesting BLM intended to support a small number of sizable project partnerships rather than many small grants.Apply for L17AS00197
