Opportunity Information: Apply for L20AS00064
The FY2020 Alaska BLM Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L20AS00064) is a discretionary funding program offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), focused on supporting youth conservation work on Alaska public lands. The funding is intended to continue and strengthen long-running partnerships between BLM Alaska offices and Qualified Youth and Conservation Corps organizations, as authorized under the Public Lands Corps Act (PLC). At its core, the opportunity is designed to fund on-the-ground conservation projects that both accomplish needed public land stewardship work and create structured, paid employment and training experiences for young participants.
A central goal of the program is workforce development tied directly to natural and cultural resource management. Through these projects, participants gain practical work experience related to conservation and public lands operations while also learning about the responsibilities and challenges involved in managing public lands. The opportunity emphasizes building long-term interest in stewardship and in BLM-related career paths, positioning youth projects as a pipeline into future natural resource and public service work. Alongside skill-building, the BLM Youth Program is also framed as a way to help diversify the workforce by broadening who has access to meaningful, early career experiences in land management.
The projects supported by this opportunity are connected to the management realities of National Conservation Lands in Alaska, where resource issues can be complex and include both cultural and natural resource considerations. In practice, this means the funded work is meant to expose participants not only to field tasks, but also to the broader context of land management decision-making, including stewardship ethics and the balancing of conservation priorities. While the notice does not list specific project types in the provided excerpt, it clearly indicates that the intent is conservation-focused work on public lands that aligns with BLM mission needs and provides substantial learning and employment value to youth participants.
Funding is provided through a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates an ongoing level of involvement from the federal agency during the period of performance rather than a hands-off pass-through award. The activity category is Natural Resources, and the CFDA number listed is 15.243. The opportunity anticipates making about six awards, with an award ceiling of $20,000 per award. Eligibility is summarized as "Others" with additional clarification referenced in the full announcement under the eligibility details; the description specifically highlights Qualified Youth and Conservation Corps as the key partner type under the PLC framework.
The application window opened February 26, 2020, and closed April 27, 2020. Applications had to be submitted by 5:00 PM Alaska Daylight Time on April 27, 2020, submitted in English, and late applications were not accepted or reviewed. Overall, the grant is positioned as a small, targeted funding opportunity aimed at delivering tangible conservation outcomes on Alaska public lands while giving young people paid, resume-building experience and a clearer pathway into long-term stewardship and natural resource careers.Apply for L20AS00064
