21st Century Conservation Service 

Corps Partnership Opportunity 

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Notice of interest to participate 

in the 21st Century Conservation 

Service Corps. 

SUMMARY: The 21st Century 

Conservation Service Corps (21CSC) 

National Council is requesting letters of 

interest from all conservation corps, 

youth, and veteran programs that would 

like to be identified as a 21CSC member 

organization. We are initiating this 

outreach in order to catalyze the 

establishment of a 21st Century 

Conservation Service Corps (21CSC) to 

engage young Americans and returning 

veterans in the conservation and 

stewardship of America’s public lands 

and water. This notice seeks to establish 

the 21CSC by building upon and 

leveraging the experience and expertise 

of existing Federal, State, tribal, local 

and non-profit conservation and youth 

corps, and veterans programs. These 

programs facilitate conservation and 

restoration service work on public lands 

to include all governmental entities of 

cities, counties, States, and the Federal 

Government, and encourage a new 

generation of natural resource managers 

and environmental stewards. All 

principals of interested organizations 

are invited to submit a letter of interest 

that outlines the organization’s and/or 

program’s alignment with the criteria in 

each of the eight 21CSC principles listed 

below under SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION. Letters should include the 

name of your organization; an address 

and point of contact, including email 

address; and a description of how your 

organization or program aligns with all 

eight principles. 

Organizations that respond to this 

request may be contacted at a later date 

to provide additional information to 

support their statements. The 21CSC 

National Council will oversee the 

review of all submissions to determine 

the respondent’s alignment with the 

21CSC principles. Organizations that are 

not recognized as 21CSC member 

organizations may submit new letters of 

interest. Letters of interest may be 

submitted up on a rolling basis for 

consideration as a 21CSC member 

organization, and will be reviewed and 

responded to on a rolling basis. 

Organizations may request to be 

removed from the 21CSC by submitting 

a written request to the email or mailing 

address below. The 21CSC member 

organizations recognized through this 

process will be acknowledged by all 

members’ departments and agencies 

represented in the National Council. 

National Council membership includes 

the Departments of Agriculture, Army, 

Commerce, Interior, and Labor, the 

Environmental Protection Agency, the 

President’s Council on Environmental 

Quality, and the Corporation for 

National and Community Service. 

DATES: Letters of interest may be 

submitted on a rolling basis (maximum 

5 pages, double-spaced in Times/New 

Roman, 12 point type). An interagency 

team will review submissions as they 

are received and respond soon 

thereafter. Organizations may be 

removed at any time by submitting a 

written request to the email or mailing 

address below. Membership will last 

until new procedures to identify 21CSC 

member organizations are established. 

ADDRESSES: Letters of interest may be 

submitted electronically to 

21CSC@fs.fed.us. If electronic 

submission is not an option, please send 

your letter of interest to: USDA Forest

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

21CSC National Council 

The implementation of the 21CSC is 

coordinated by a National Council of 

representatives from Federal agencies 

that formalized their mission through 

the signing a Memorandum of 

Understanding in January 2013. 

National Council membership includes 

leadership from the Departments of the 

Army, Interior, Agriculture, Commerce, 

and Labor, Environmental Protection 

Agency, the President’s Council on 

Environmental Quality, and the 

Corporation for National and 

Community Service. The National 

Council will work to: Support program 

expansion, including by matching 

natural resource management needs 

with 21CSC opportunities and 

identifying potential sources of funding 

and other resources; remove barriers 

and streamline processes for supporting 

21CSC programs; Support participant 

pathways to careers; facilitate technical 

assistance; develop and support 

partnerships; coordinate messaging; and 

ensure national representation. 

Background 

The 21CSC is a bold national effort to 

put America’s youth and veterans to 

work protecting, restoring, and 

enhancing America’s Great Outdoors. 

Recognizing the need for job 

opportunities for youth and returning 

veterans, the need for restoration of our 

natural resources, the need to connect 

Americans to the country’s lands and 

waters, the need to effectively recruit 

the next generation of public employees, 

and the need to develop the next 

generation of conservation stewards, the 

Secretary of the Department of Interior, 

on behalf of the America’s Great 

Outdoors Council, formed a Federal 

Advisory Committee (FAC) to develop 

recommendations for the establishment 

of the 21CSC. The FAC was comprised 

of representatives from Federal 

agencies, the outdoor industry, and nonprofit youth and conservation corps. In 

addition to providing recommendations, 

the FAC also identified 21CSC goals and 

principles, which were slightly 

modified and adopted by the Federal 

21CSC National Council. 

21CSC Goals 

1. Build America’s future. Through 

service to America, the 21CSC will 

develop a generation of skilled workers, 

educated and active citizens, future 

leaders, and stewards of natural and 

cultural resources, communities, and 

the nation. 

2. Put Americans to work. The 21CSC 

will provide service, training, 

education, and employment 

opportunities for thousands of young 

Americans and veterans, including low 

income, disadvantaged youth and other 

youth with limited access to outdoor 

work opportunities. 

3. Preserve, protect, and promote 

America’s greatest gifts. The 21CSC will 

protect, restore, and enhance public and 

tribal lands and waters as well as 

natural, cultural, and historical 

resources and treasures. With highquality, cost-effective project work, the 

21CSC will increase public access and 

use while spurring economic 

development and outdoor recreation. 

21CSC Principles 

21CSC member organizations must be 

in alignment with the criteria in each of 

the following 21CSC Principles: 

1. Population served. Program serves 

young people ages 15–25 and/or 

military veterans up to age 35. Program 

may serve young people up to age 29 in 

an advanced capacity. 

2. Participant eligibility. Participants 

must be a U.S. citizen, national, or 

lawful permanent residents alien of the 

United States, meeting the same 

citizenship requirements as those for 

serving in AmeriCorps and Public Lands 

Corps. 

3. Emphasis on diversity and 

inclusion. Participant recruitment 

should make deliberate outreach efforts 

to traditionally underserved 

communities, including low-income 

and disadvantaged populations. 

4. Term of service. Program minimum 

term of service: 140 hours of on-theground, hands-on direct service for full 

time students and summer only 

participants; or, 300 hours of on-theground, hands-on direct service for nonfull time student participants. Program 

maximum term of service of 3,500 hours 

of on-the-ground, hands-on direct 

service, with a limited exception for 

program elements that require more 

than 3,500 hours to achieve highly 

advanced outcomes. Service is 

compensated (not volunteer). 

Compensation can be in the form of 

wages, stipend, educational credit, or 

other appropriate form. 

5. Organization of work. Program 

organizes its participants as either: (a) 

Crew-based where participants work 

collectively and intensely together 

directly supervised by trained and 

experienced crew leaders or 

conservation professionals; or (b) 

individual or small team-based where 

participants work individually or in 

coordinated teams under the direction 

of conservation professionals on 

initiatives that require specific skills 

and dedicated attention. 

6. Types of work. Projects include 

significant outdoor activity and/or 

include ‘‘hands-on’’ direct impact and/ 

or helps young people connect with 

America’s Great Outdoors. Some 

programs may include work that is 

primarily indoors—for example, 

science, policy or program internships— 

that have a clear benefit to natural, 

cultural or historic resources. 

7. Participant outcomes. Program 

provides: a) Job skill development to 

prepare participants to be successful in 

the 21st century workforce; b) 

community skill development to help 

participants acquire an ethic of service 

to others and learn to become better 

resource and community stewards; and 

c) a connection, improvement or 

restoration of the natural or cultural/ 

urban environment or a greater 

understanding of our natural, cultural or 

historic resources. 

8. Leveraged investment. Program 

leverages public investment through 

either financial or in-kind support, to 

the extent possible. Exceptions may be 

made to support new, smaller, or 

Federal programs that increase diversity 

and inclusion. 

21CSC Member Organization Benefits & 

Caveats 

Through this ‘‘notice of interest’’ 

process, all respondents that currently 

meet each of the criteria listed in all 

21CSC principles will be designated as 

a 21CSC member organization. 

Designation as a 21CSC member 

organization is not a commitment of 

funding or future partnership 

opportunities, however this designation 

may result in the following benefits to 

and limitations for member 

organizations and the Federal agencies 

represented on the 21CSC National 

Council. 

1. Access to a national network of 

21CSC member organizations. 

2. Identification on a Web site as a 

21CSC member organization. 

3. Ability to utilize the 21CSC brand 

to promote affiliation as a member 

organization. 

4. Career and youth development 

opportunities with Federal agencies for 

participants of member organizations, 

where available.
