Adventure Risk Challenge
Community Leaders Program for high school youth from the Tahoe/Truckee community and Central Valley (Merced and Fresno Counties). Majority come from families that live below the poverty line and speak no English at home. Students participate in a year-long, intensive, academic and leadership progression, including multiple weekend visits to California state parks. This program aims to build cohorts of youth to become vocal and active leaders in their communities, and to become ambassadors in their schools, families, and communities for the outdoors and, by extension, California’s state parks.
State Parks: Malakoff Diggins State Historic Park, San Luis Reservoir, Castle Rock State Park and others
