Opportunity Information: Apply for L22AS00197
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Alaska Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands grant (Funding Opportunity Number L22AS00197) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity offered as a cooperative agreement to support on-the-ground conservation and public service projects on BLM-managed public lands in Alaska. The overall purpose is to partner with qualified youth conservation corps to plan and carry out multiple-use conservation work that also functions as a structured workforce and education pathway for young people. Projects are expected to align with BLMs natural and cultural resource mission while delivering tangible benefits to public lands and to the communities where participants live.
A central requirement of this opportunity is that proposed projects must focus on providing employment, education, and public-service opportunities for eligible participants. Participants must be U.S. citizens or legal residents, generally between the ages of 16 and 30 inclusive, with an expanded eligibility window for veterans up to age 35 inclusive. Recruitment is intended to prioritize local and surrounding communities, meaning the program is designed not only to accomplish resource work but also to strengthen local workforce development and community connections to public lands. The conservation corps model emphasized here is not casual or part-time volunteering; it is framed as meaningful, full-time, productive work performed in a natural or cultural resource setting.
Eligibility is narrowly limited to organizations that meet the definition of a qualified youth or conservation corps. The announcement specifies that no other entities are eligible to respond. A qualified corps can be established by a state or local government, the governing body of an Indian tribe, or a qualified nonprofit organization. Nonprofit applicants must be able to document their status, and the announcement specifically requires that nonprofit entities provide a copy of their IRS Section 501(c)(3) determination letter. While the source data lists a broad set of applicant categories in the standard eligibility fields, the narrative description makes it clear that applicants must fit the youth conservation corps definition and be capable of administering these corps-style programs in cooperation with BLM.
The opportunity also clarifies what BLM considers a qualified corps program. It must be capable of offering meaningful, full-time, productive work for the specified age groups in a natural or cultural resource setting. It must provide participants with a blend of work experience and structured personal and professional development, including basic life skills, education, training, and support. It must directly support BLMs mission, and it must create opportunities for participants to build transferable life skills and work habits through real projects on BLM lands skills that carry back into their communities and into the broader workforce.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the award instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically implies a more hands-on partnership with the federal agency than a standard grant, including substantial involvement by BLM in project coordination, planning, or oversight. The CFDA (assistance listing) number associated with this opportunity is 15.243, and the funding activity category is Natural Resources. The posted award ceiling is $50,000. The opportunity record shows an original closing date of April 15, 2022, and a creation date of February 7, 2022.
In practical terms, a strong application under this opportunity would describe specific, field-based conservation or stewardship projects on BLM public lands in Alaska and clearly show how those projects will be used to employ and train local young adults and eligible veterans. It would also demonstrate that the applying organization has an established corps structure (or a clearly credible plan and capacity) to provide full-time work experiences, supervision, safety practices, training, and supportive services that help participants complete their term successfully while producing measurable public-land outcomes that match BLM priorities.Apply for L22AS00197
