North Face Provides Grant To YCP

North Face

The North Face, has awarded an Explore Fund grant to Grand Teton National Park Foundation for Youth Conservation Program, a teen trail crew that begins a ten-week season this week in Grand Teton National Park. The Explore Fund’s mission is to inspire and enable the next generation of explorers by funding nonprofit organizations that are working to reconnect young people with nature. Grand Teton National Park Foundation was selected from over five hundred applications submitted for the first of two grant cycles in 2012, because this valuable program provides a unique outdoor education for approximately twenty teens each summer while they complete much needed trail and historic site projects that significantly improve park resources. The YCP trail crew operates each June to August.
