WildLink is an innovative partnership between the Yosemite Institute, Yosemite and Sequoia-Kings Canyon National Parks, the Sierra Nevada Wilderness Education Project, the Sequoia Natural History Association and the National Forests of the Sierra. Since 2000, the WildLink Program has worked to open Sierra wilderness to the multi-cultural population living at its doorstep and demonstrate the relevance and benefits of Wilderness and public lands to all Americans. Every school year, 108 culturally diverse high school students participate in wilderness backpacking expeditions in the Sierra; these WildLink students in turn impact 1100 underserved Californians annually through Wilderness Ambassador projects. WildLink does not simply send youth on a one-time wilderness expedition. Being a part of the program means that students benefit from a wide array of opportunities designed to provide leadership training and personal empowerment, giving them tools to change their own lives as well as their home communities.
