National Park Service

Description

NPS seeks a recipient to develop a collaborative effort to educate and engage underserved youth from inner-city and rural communities in the Coachella Valley that are diverse in race, gender, and ethnicity. The Public Lands Education Project (PLEP) seeks to provide opportunities for youth to be exposed to careers in natural resources through educational and conservation activities. Youth will work together on conservation issues, learn from Native communities, build trails, enhance recreational opportunities, and restore their cultural and historic landmarks all in an effort to franchise the participants as stewards of the nation's lands, waters, and cultural heritage. The PLEP seeks to reach out to underserved populations to ensure that all Americans enjoy our natural and cultural resources.
