The Yosemite Leadership Program (YLP) strives to be the premier student environmental leadership program in the nation. The YLP will foster synergy among government, business, and academia to develop tomorrow’s thoughtful, ethical, and innovative leaders.
YLP is leadership development that educates and inspires environmental advocacy and social change through skilled, ethical, innovative and intentional action while respecting cultural heritage and community.
Yosemite Leadership Program is developing powerful and engaging experiences for the coming year. The opportunity to adventure, to challenge ourselves, to grow, and to build a tight-knit community are all important to us. This year's participants will have one of the most unique outdoor engagement, community service, and professional development experiences available at UC Merced. We are leveraging a broad professional network of leaders and speakers from a variety of backgrounds, and the passion of each student participant to create a powerful experience that will give students an important edge in their career and personal goals.
