Continue to expand the successful partnership between the union sportsmens alliance (USA) and the U.S. Fish and wildlife service (FWS)

This agreement will facilitate national collaborative volunteer program and project management and volunteer recruitment for mutually agreed upon programs and projects at U.S. Fish and wildlife service sites across the nation. The union sportsmens alliance mission is to unite the union community through conservation to preserve north americas outdoor heritage. USA and FWS have a long history of conservation projects nationwide since the beginning of the organizations work boots on the ground mission in 2010. Currently, USA and the department of interior and the U.S. Fish and wildlife service have signed a memorandum of agreement to facilitate volunteer public service opportunities for USA members that will support outdoor recreation, environmental and recreational education, and other opportunities on service-managed lands. The union sportsmens alliance staff are working toward and currently seeking potential opportunities in key markets where the US fish and wildlife service may have impactful and viable conservation recreation projects that are reasonable distance for the USA union volunteers. The union sportsmens alliance is uniquely qualified as the FWS nonprofit partner to recruit and work collaboratively to recruit, screen, and select USA members to participate in the program, providing highly skilled labor for selected FWS projects. Additionally, USA works to mentor and train young adults, veteran corps and youth on conservation, union trades, or apprenticeship opportunities.
