Opportunity Information: Apply for W912EF202RFP0002
The Natural Resources Training and Education at Dworshak Project grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number W912EF202RFP0002) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Walla Walla District. It is designed to partner with an organization that can deliver outdoor education and hands-on job training while also completing practical maintenance and stewardship work on public lands associated with the Dworshak Project. In other words, the award supports programs that combine workforce development for young adults with on-the-ground natural resources and recreation area improvements.
The work supported under this opportunity focuses on routine and seasonal land management and site upkeep activities typical of park and natural resource settings. Examples explicitly referenced include park maintenance, vegetation management, prescribed burning, landscaping, and related services. The intent is that participants gain real-world experience by performing meaningful projects that directly benefit public lands, facilities, and surrounding natural resources, rather than training in a purely classroom environment.
A central goal of the program is youth and young adult development. USACE is seeking organizations that provide challenging education and job-training experiences that help young adults build practical skills, personal responsibility, and employability. The opportunity also emphasizes creating pathways that support continued advancement, including the potential to help participants pursue formal education after high school. This makes the program a blend of conservation corps-style field work and structured career preparation, aligned with broader public service and workforce readiness outcomes.
Eligibility is limited to non-federal public and non-profit entities, described in the source as "Non-Federal public and non-profit entities" and categorized under "Eligible Applicants: Others." The assistance listing is associated with CFDA number 12.010, and the activity area is Natural Resources. Because the instrument type is a cooperative agreement, applicants should expect a more collaborative relationship with USACE than a standard grant, often involving agency involvement in planning, coordination, or oversight of the project activities and outcomes.
Key funding details provided in the announcement include an award ceiling of $24,000 and an expected number of awards listed as 1. The opportunity was created on 2020-05-06, with an original closing date of 2020-06-05. Statutory authority for the program is cited as the Water Resources Development Act of 2000, Title 33, Part 2339, Section 213(a), Public Law 106-106-541, 114 Stat. 2593, codified at 33 U.S.C. 2339. Overall, the opportunity is structured to support a single partner that can deliver measurable public-land maintenance results while providing structured, skill-building training experiences for young adults in natural resource and outdoor work settings.Apply for W912EF202RFP0002
