OYW has a Cooperative Agreement with the Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) to support utilizing youth crews engaged in federal conservation projects. The BLM has five projects in their Lakeview and Burns districts where HECC will deploy youth crews. These projects span the three-year agreement with the BLM. HECC’s projects are intended to recruit at least some Native youth participants (enrolled tribal member status is not required). The RFA is to form grant agreements with organizations who will support this work on the ground and employ the young people.
Applicants should include how they plan to work with local youth and partner with local Tribal governments, Native people, and Native-led organizations as well as create intentional exposure to, and discussion of, career pathways available through the BLM. An ideal Applicant is already invested and present in these local communities or working in close partnership with local-based efforts.
