Located 90 miles from the entrance to Yosemite National Park, UC Merced is home to the Yosemite Leadership Program. The organizations mission states: "within the setting of two of America's most cherished landscapes at Yosemite and Sequoia National Parks and through the cooperative efforts of the organizations, the Yosemite Leadership Program seeks to realize opportunities for students at the University of California, Merced to gain practical leadership experiences through a variety of park based activities, offered by the members. Graduates of the Program will be recognized for their ability to lead and make ethical decisions that thoughtfully consider and balance opportunities and challenges, the communities in which they live and work, diversity, and the environment."
