Grant Description: The United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) is an environmental Federal Agency with offices throughout the United States. In the Mountain-Prairie Region, the following states are included: North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, and Utah. Through on-site activities located at a variety of field stations, including wildlife refuges, fish hatcheries, and ecological services offices, youth will be introduced to natural resource careers through "hands-on" work with, and training by, natural resource professionals employed by the USFWS. The goal is to help develop a new generation of youth, who are enthusiastic and effective conservationists and ecologists. Each selected individual or group is given the opportunity to serve a seasonal on-site assignment, usually between April 1 and November 1. During the assignments, individuals or groups are introduced to various real-world conservation and rehabilitation activities such as invasive species management, habitat restoration, wildlife management, and public education and interpretation, mixed with informal and formal training sessions directed by USFWS. The USFWS hereby invites submission of proposals from all potential sources willing and able to cooperatively administer a program for identifying and recruiting youth or youth groups for assignments at field stations in the Mountain-Prairie Region as stated above.
