Bureau of Land Management

Description

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 Alaska will continue in their efforts to provide work and training opportunities to youth and young adult to gain land management experience by working with land managers on various projects. BLM Alaska has been very successful in providing opportunities throughout the State of Alaska, which educate and inspire the next generation of conservation leaders. For the past 25 years, the BLM Glennallen Field Office has been working to provide youth opportunities to explore natural resource careers. Recently opportunities for youth have been expanded to reach out to younger students, providing outdoor science education opportunities at a young age and working with partners to develop outdoor and science skills as youth grow and mature.
