Opportunity Information: Apply for L22AS00306
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Nevada Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands grant (Funding Opportunity Number L22AS00306) is a discretionary funding opportunity offered through a cooperative agreement. It is designed to partner with qualified youth conservation corps to plan, develop, and carry out multiple-use conservation projects on BLM-managed public lands in Nevada. The overall intent is to combine on-the-ground natural and cultural resource work with structured youth employment and development, so that projects both advance BLM stewardship goals and create tangible education and workforce pathways for young people from local and nearby communities.
Eligibility is limited to organizations that meet the definition of a "qualified youth or conservation corps." In practical terms, that 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 credibly operate a youth corps model. The opportunity explicitly states that no other entities are eligible to apply. Nonprofit applicants are required to provide documentation of their IRS determination letter for Section 501(c)(3) status. While the source data lists a broad range of government and education entities under eligible applicants, the narrative description narrows the focus to qualified youth conservation corps programs as defined above, emphasizing that the corps structure and capacity are the core eligibility test.
Funded projects must center on providing employment, education, and public service opportunities tied to conservation work on public lands. Participant eligibility is also clearly defined: corps members must be U.S. citizens or legal residents, ages 16 to 30 inclusive, with an expanded age cap for veterans up to age 35 inclusive. The program places strong emphasis on recruiting from local and surrounding communities, reflecting an intent to invest in nearby workforces and to create community-connected stewardship and public service experiences rather than importing short-term labor from distant areas.
A key requirement is that the applying corps must be capable of offering meaningful, full-time, productive work in natural or cultural resource settings. Beyond employment, the program must provide a balanced mix of work experience, education, training, basic life skills development, and participant support, all aligned with BLM's mission. In other words, the corps is expected to function as a comprehensive development program, not just a labor crew. The opportunity highlights outcomes such as improved work ethic, transferable life and job skills, and career-relevant experience that participants can carry back into their communities and future employment across the United States.
From a funding perspective, the listed award ceiling is $200,000. The opportunity was created on April 13, 2022, with an original closing date of June 16, 2022. The assistance listing is associated with CFDA (now Assistance Listing) number 15.243, which corresponds to BLM natural resources related assistance. The cooperative agreement instrument type signals that BLM expects substantial involvement in the funded work, typically meaning the agency will collaborate in planning, oversight, coordination, or technical guidance rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back.
Taken together, this opportunity is aimed at organizations that can run a structured youth conservation corps program and deliver real resource benefits on Nevada public lands while also producing workforce development results for young adults and veterans. Competitive applicants would generally be those that can demonstrate proven corps management capacity, safe and effective field operations, strong participant training and support systems, and a clear plan to execute conservation projects that serve BLM land management priorities while delivering measurable participant outcomes.Apply for L22AS00306
