    Congratulations to BLM Partners that Received Support for Youth and Veteran Employment Projects!

    As part of the Department of the Interior’s youth initiative and the President’s 21st Century Conservation Service Corps Initiative, Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell yesterday announced $6.7 million in grants to support conservation employment and mentoring opportunities at 43 projects on public lands across the country.

    The 21st Century Conservation Service Corps is a national collaborative effort to put America’s youth and returning veterans to work protecting, restoring and enhancing America’s great outdoors.  

    Thanks to the grants, the BLM and its partners will be able to engage more than 300 youth and some 750 volunteers in conservation projects. A few of these projects are ongoing with great success stories, such as the Environment for the Americas “Celebrate Shorebirds” Project.
