Opportunity Information: Apply for W9127N 18 2 0004
This grant opportunity is a discretionary cooperative agreement from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Portland District (NWP), aimed at supporting land stewardship and ecological restoration work on USACE-managed properties in the Willamette Valley in Lane County, Oregon. The basic idea is to partner with a qualified youth service or conservation corps organization to carry out hands-on natural resource management (NRM) projects while also providing structured education and job-readiness experience to participating youth. The agreement is designed to help USACE meet its environmental stewardship obligations, especially around restoring and maintaining native plant communities and wildlife habitat on federal lands associated with major water resource projects.
The work supported under this agreement centers on practical field projects at several USACE lake and dam project sites in Lane County. Most activities are expected to take place at Fern Ridge, Lookout Point, Dexter, or Fall Creek Lakes, with occasional work opportunities at Dorena and Cottage Grove Lakes. Project tasks are framed broadly as land stewardship and habitat restoration, and they may also include campground maintenance and vegetation management tied to dam safety needs. In practice, that can cover a range of conservation corps-style work such as removing invasive species, planting native vegetation, maintaining trails or day-use areas, managing vegetation in areas where it affects infrastructure safety, and completing site upkeep that supports both recreation and resource protection.
A key feature of this opportunity is the educational and workforce development component for participants. The selected organization must provide youth participants with opportunities to learn how conservation projects are planned, developed, and implemented, not just perform labor. Participants are expected to build familiarity with ecological concepts and restoration methods while gaining work experience in a structured crew environment. The opportunity explicitly calls for experienced crew leaders, with the intent that field leadership can correctly teach and reinforce ecological principles, safe work practices, and professional expectations while projects are being carried out.
Eligibility is narrowly defined. The recipient must be a qualified youth service or conservation corps organization that specifically serves youth who have an active case with the Lane County Department of Juvenile Justice. The program model is intended to support youth in meeting court-related and educational goals at the same time as they contribute to public land stewardship. Examples of the outcomes mentioned include earning restitution, completing required community service hours, earning high school credit, working toward a GED, receiving vocational training, and developing job readiness skills. In other words, the agreement is structured to blend conservation work with rehabilitation, education, and workforce preparation.
Administratively, the opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number W9127N 18 2 0004 and falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category (CFDA 12.010). The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that USACE expects to have an active role in coordinating or overseeing aspects of the work rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal agency involvement. The opportunity anticipated a single award with a ceiling of $25,000. The notice was created on August 13, 2018, with an original closing date of September 13, 2018. The legal authority cited for making the award is 33 U.S.C. 2339(c), which is commonly used by USACE to enter agreements that support training and youth participation tied to natural resource stewardship and related public benefits.
Overall, the grant is best understood as a targeted partnership to accomplish on-the-ground habitat and site maintenance needs at USACE projects in Lane County while giving justice-involved youth a supervised pathway to earn credit, meet obligations, and build practical conservation and employment skills under knowledgeable crew leadership.Apply for W9127N 18 2 0004
