BLM-UT, Youth Opportunities to Work on Conservation Project throughout Utah Public Lands

 

Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell has pledged that the Department of the Interior (DOI) will provide 100,000 work & training opportunities to young people within our bureaus and through public-private partnerships over the next four years. As a high-priority goal, The BLM Utah will continue in their efforts to provide work and training opportunities to youth and young adults to gain land management experience by working with land managers on various projects. The BLM Utah has been very successful in providing opportunities throughout the state of Utah, which educate and inspire the next generation of conservation leaders. Recently, the BLM Director identified cultural and paleontological youth education program implementation as a 2015-16 priority for The BLM Utah. Federal youth initiatives are placing greater emphasis on natural resources-based internships service project opportunities, and diverse youth outreach. The BLM Utah will accomplish shared program goals benefiting America���s youth through partnerships.
