Subject: Availability of “From Childhood Exploration to Conservation Leadership: An Update on BLM Education, Engagement, and Youth Employment Programs”
The Division of Education, Interpretation, and Partnerships is pleased to provide a copy of “From Childhood Exploration to Conservation Leadership: An Update on BLM Education, Engagement, and Youth Employment Programs.” This publication presents an overview of BLM accomplishments in the areas of education, interpretation, and youth involvement, as well as Fiscal Year 2011 statistics on youth education, engagement, and employment projects, as reported by State and Field Offices.
The update highlights outstanding education and engagement programs for students, “lifetime learners,” and the general public, demonstrating the BLM’s commitment to bringing our programs to larger and increasingly diverse audiences. In addition, profiles of youth employment projects emphasize the important role that young people are playing in the management of public land resources. Working with a wide range of partners, BLM is truly creating the “next generation of conservation leaders.”
The report is currently online at https://www.blm.gov.
