15.931 Youth and Veteran Organizations Conservation Activities. This program utilizes qualified non-profit youth and veteran serving organizations to carry out appropriate natural and cultural resource conservation, education, volunteer service, and education projects on Department of the Interior lands through authorized National Park Service programs.

In cooperation with Cabrillo National Monument (CABR), Great Basin Institute (GBI) will hire and/or retain up to five youth to serve as Research Associates (RAs) who will support the development and implementation of natural resource projects related to science education, vegetation and greenhouse management, as well as provide educational programming associated with the tidepools of CABR.

Collectively, implementation of the various aspects of this project will provide opportunities for RAs to gain an understanding of the resources and recreational opportunities at CABR. Additionally, they will reduce deferred maintenance on maintained landscapes, provide education to visitors about recreational opportunities in the tide pools, and provide educational programming for local schools and the public.

Beneficiaries include private non-profit institutions and organizations, public and private non-profit academic institutions, state and local government agencies, quasi-public non-profit institutions and organizations that support youth and young adult career training and development, and education in the areas of natural and/or cultural resource conservation and management. Individuals, families, students, and the general public will receive a benefit from the development and execution of these programs and projects.
