Featured BLM resource programs are designed to educate, engage, and employ young people, as well as provide opportunities for lifetime learners and the general public to connect with their public lands and waters and to pursue healthy, active lifestyles. More than 2,100 young people and veterans participated in work and training opportunities provided through partner organizations in 2016; over 27,000 volunteers contributed their time and energy to BLM public lands programs.
