The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) is pleased to announce the availability of funding for organizations with the interest and capacity to work cooperatively with the USFWS to develop hands-on educational and mentoring experiences for youth, young adults and veterans, particularly those from culturally, ethnically and economically diverse backgrounds and underserved communities that traditionally have low participation in conservation and outdoor recreation. Under this program, individuals and/or groups of youth, young adults, and veterans will be introduced to conservation stewardship; rehabilitation activities such as invasive species management and habitat restoration; outdoor recreation; public education and interpretation; disaster response and mitigation; communications; or career opportunities in conservation, natural resource management and related fields.
