The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) awarded a $1,852,956.75 Cooperative Agreement to the Hispanic Access Foundation on December 27, 2024 under the CFDA 15.676 Youth Engagement, Education, and Employment program. The funding will support the placement of up to 14 fellows, ages 18-30 (up to 35 for veterans), in 52-week fellowships involving hands-on work and training with USFWS natural resource professionals at refuge sites. The goal of this project is to build a diverse pipeline of skilled young people with experience in natural resource careers at USFWS, with the long-term objective of creating a conservation workforce that is reflective of the nation's population.
