Opportunity Information: Apply for W9126G 21 2 FOA 2021
The Youth Conservation Service Cooperative Agreement is a nationwide funding opportunity from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Fort Worth District, aimed at partnering with a single nonprofit organization to deliver training and education tied to natural resources conservation and outdoor recreation management. The central purpose is to put young adults and veterans into real-world, hands-on service roles that support environmental stewardship and public recreation work across the United States. In addition to producing tangible conservation and recreation management outcomes at public sites, the program is meant to build participants leadership skills, professional readiness, and personal development through structured, work-based learning experiences.
USACE is looking for a nonprofit recipient with a strong, established track record of placing young people and veterans with major federal land management agencies and delivering practical career pathways such as internships, conservation crews, and related education programs. The recipient is expected to manage the full pipeline: recruiting, selecting, training, and placing qualified participants into positions that directly support conservation and recreation management projects. A key feature of this opportunity is continuity and progression, meaning the nonprofit should be able to offer a connected series of experiences spanning levels from high school through post-graduate stages, so participants can steadily deepen their understanding of conservation work while preparing for long-term careers in natural resources and recreation fields.
The agreement is designed to operate at national scale. The recipient must demonstrate the organizational capacity to rapidly deploy interns and conservation crews to more than 400 USACE lake and river projects and other work sites, covering all fifty states. This implies the nonprofit needs mature operational systems for multi-state coordination, field supervision, participant support, and consistent program delivery across a wide geographic footprint, while meeting the standards expected for federal site-based work.
This opportunity is offered as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in guiding, coordinating, or collaborating on program activities. The legal authority cited is 33 USC 2339(a), under the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) 2000, Section 213(a), which supports assistance programs and delegated authority connected to USACE missions.
Key administrative details include: Funding Opportunity Number W9126G 21 2 FOA 2021, CFDA 12.010, and an award ceiling of $4,000,000. USACE anticipates making one award. The posted close date for the Funding Opportunity Announcement was July 12, 2020, with review of interested candidates beginning July 13, 2020. Questions and responses were directed to the listed USACE contracting specialist, Sandy Justman, at sandra.justman@usace.army.mil and 817-886-1073.Apply for W9126G 21 2 FOA 2021
