US Fish and Wildlife Service	Environmental Training for Youths		20,000-151,000	Sep, 29, 2010
	The United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) is an environmental Federal Agency with offices throughout the United States. Here in the Northeast Region, we cover states from Maine to Virginia. Through on-site activities located at a variety of field stations, including wildlife refuges, fish hatcheries, and ecological services offices, youth will be introduced to natural resource careers through “hands-on” work with, and training by, natural resource professionals employed by the USFWS. Our goal is to help develop a new generation of youth, who are enthusiastic and effective conservationists and ecologists. Each selected individual or group is given the opportunity to serve a seasonal on-site assignment, usually between June 1st and September 30th. During the assignments, individuals or groups are introduced to various real-world conservation and rehabilitation activities such as invasive species management, habitat restoration, wildlife management, and public education and interpretation, mixed with informal and formal training sessions directed by USFWS. The USFWS hereby invites submission of proposals from all potential sources willing and able to cooperatively administer a program for identifying and recruiting youth or youth groups for assignments at field stations in the following states. Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Delaware, West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland.
