Opportunity Information: Apply for L22AS00216
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Utah Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands grant (Funding Opportunity Number L22AS00216) is a discretionary Department of the Interior funding opportunity offered through a cooperative agreement. Its purpose is to partner with a qualified youth conservation corps to plan, develop, and administer multiple-use conservation projects on BLM-managed public lands in Utah. The program is designed to advance BLM's natural and cultural resource stewardship mission while also creating structured, meaningful opportunities for young people to work, learn, and serve in outdoor public-service settings.
A central requirement of the opportunity is that proposed conservation projects must directly emphasize employment, education, and public-service outcomes for participants who are U.S. citizens or legal residents. Participants must generally be between ages 16 and 30, inclusive, with an expanded eligibility ceiling for veterans up to age 35. The corps is expected to recruit youth from local and surrounding communities, reinforcing the program's community-based workforce development intent and increasing the likelihood that benefits of training and employment remain connected to the region.
Eligibility is narrowly focused on "qualified youth or conservation corps" programs. In practical terms, this means the applicant must be a program established by a state or local government, the governing body of an Indian tribe, or a nonprofit organization that can demonstrate it is capable of providing meaningful, full-time, productive work in a natural or cultural resource setting. Beyond simply offering jobs, the program must provide a mix of work experience, education, training, basic life skills, and participant support. The opportunity description also stresses that the corps experience should build transferable life skills and work ethic that participants can carry back into their communities and into the broader U.S. workforce. The notice makes clear that no other entities are eligible to respond outside this defined set of qualified corps, and nonprofit applicants must submit documentation of their IRS Section 501(c)(3) determination letter as part of their response.
From a funding standpoint, the award ceiling is listed as $250,000. The opportunity is categorized under Natural Resources and is associated with CFDA number 15.243. The original closing date for applications was April 12, 2022, and the opportunity record shows a creation date of February 11, 2022. While the listing includes a broad catalog of applicant types in the standard eligibility field (such as various governments, tribal entities, and higher education institutions), the narrative eligibility language is the controlling guidance here and emphasizes that applicants must specifically be a qualified youth conservation corps meeting the criteria described above.
Overall, this grant is best understood as a partnership vehicle for conservation and recreation-related field projects on BLM lands that also function as a youth development and workforce pipeline. The BLM is not just purchasing labor; it is looking to collaborate with a corps capable of delivering supervised, full-time conservation work paired with structured training and supportive services, so participants gain practical job skills, personal development, and a track record of public service tied to responsible stewardship of Utah's public lands.Apply for L22AS00216
