YLP interns of 2008.

The Yosemite Leadership Program (YLP) is a comprehensive two-year co-curricular program focused on leadership, environmental advocacy, and social change. YLP gives UC Merced students-regardless of major or previous outdoor experience-the exciting opportunity to develop practical leadership skills. These skills are developed through a variety of on-campus leadership activities, outdoor education, stewardship projects, and professional development opportunities including a summer internship with a park, non-profit organization, or business that supports the environment.

Several types of internships are available through this program (which is limited to UC Merced undergraduate students). Check out the position descriptions [950 kb PDF] for details.
