Born out of strategic planning work with the Bridgespan Group, the newly formed Park Youth Collabora- tive (PYC) brings together three park partners—the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy, , and Presidio Trust—to ensure the highest standards for youth program quality, relevance, and service.

While these organizations have successfully implemented programs independently and work hand-in- hand on many initiatives, the PYC aims to further focus and amplify those efforts. By leveraging core strengths, the PYC will help the partners serve more youth—more effectively and more directly—and provide resources for schools and other groups to connect with their national parks.

Through these enhanced programs, young people will cultivate academic, civic, social, and leadership skills; develop tools for personal and The Golden Gate National Parks professional growth; and deepen Conservancy’s 2013 Report to their ties to their communities, public lands, and environment. the Community is dedicated to Many thanks to the Pisces Founda- today’s youth, whose experiences tion, the S.
