Opportunity Information: Apply for L22AS00218
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is offering a Wyoming-focused funding opportunity titled "Bureau of Land Management Wyoming Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands" (Funding Opportunity Number L22AS00218). The specific project described is "WY Wind River Bighorn DO Haz Fuels - Youth," which indicates a hazard fuels effort in the Wind River/Bighorn District Office area that will be carried out with youth crews. The award will be made as a cooperative agreement, meaning the BLM expects to be substantially involved in planning, coordinating, or otherwise supporting the funded work rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation. The program sits in the Natural Resources activity area under CFDA 15.243.
At its core, the opportunity is designed to pair public-land stewardship with workforce development. Funded projects must be conservation-oriented and "multiple-use" in nature, aligning with BLM's broader mission of managing public lands for a mix of values and uses. The emphasis is on creating structured employment, education, and public-service opportunities on public lands, while also delivering tangible natural or cultural resource outcomes. In this case, the project title signals work related to hazardous fuels, which commonly includes activities that reduce wildfire risk and improve landscape resilience, such as vegetation treatments, fuels reduction, and related field support tasks consistent with BLM direction and local land management plans.
Eligibility is narrow and targeted. Only "qualified youth conservation corps" may apply, and they must be established by (1) a state or local government, (2) the governing body of an Indian tribe, or (3) a qualified nonprofit organization. The notice is explicit that no other entity types are eligible to respond. For nonprofit applicants, there is a documentation requirement: they must provide a copy of their IRS 501(c)(3) determination letter as proof of status. While the source data lists many applicant categories in a general eligibility field, the narrative description controls the practical eligibility for this particular notice and makes clear that the intent is to fund youth corps-style organizations capable of recruiting, training, and supervising crews.
Participant requirements are also clearly defined. Conservation projects supported through this opportunity must provide employment and service opportunities for U.S. citizens and legal residents between the ages of 16 and 30, inclusive, and for veterans up to age 35, inclusive. Recruitment is expected to draw from local and surrounding communities, reinforcing a community-based workforce pipeline and ensuring that nearby residents benefit directly from paid conservation work on the public lands in their region.
The opportunity defines what counts as a "qualified youth or conservation corps" in practical terms. The program must be capable of offering meaningful, full-time, productive work in a natural or cultural resource setting. It must provide more than just field labor; it should include a mix of work experience, education, training, basic life skills, and support that advances BLM's mission. Just as importantly, the corps experience should help participants build transferable life skills and strong work habits that carry beyond the project itself and benefit their communities and future employment prospects.
Key administrative details include an original closing date of April 18, 2022, and an award ceiling of $500,000. The listing does not specify the expected number of awards in the provided data, but the ceiling indicates the maximum federal amount anticipated for an individual award under this announcement. Overall, the opportunity is structured for organizations that can jointly deliver on-the-ground fuels and conservation outcomes while operating a well-rounded youth workforce program with strong training, supervision, and participant development components.Apply for L22AS00218
