    Break Down Cultural Barriers

    Yosemite National Park was awarded $56,500 for their Break Down Cultural Barriers initiative. By aligning program curriculum with the needs and concerns of the Central Valley youth, this initiative aims to address cultural and socio-economic concerns that prevent youth of diverse backgrounds from connecting to the great outdoors. Set in Yosemite National Park, this initiative aims to harness the community’s skills, talents, ideas, and assets to engage in meaningful dialogue about the environment, and build relationships so that culturally relevant collaboration can inform program development.
