Youth Ambassadors Anza Trail

The National Park Service intends to award a cooperative agreement to Ironwood Tree Experience for the "Youth Ambassadors Anza Trail" project. The project aims to support two youth internship programs that will expand the Anza Trail's capacity in the Santa Cruz River Valley, a National Heritage Area. The internships will focus on engaging youth to understand their local history and generate a sense of stewardship for their cultural and natural heritage. The project will include developing educational programs or projects to be shared with the public and sites along the Anza Trail. • The project will promote an understanding and appreciation of the story and legacy of the Juan Bautista de Anza expedition and the Anza Trail through youth education programming. • The project will focus on engaging youth to understand their local history and generate a sense of stewardship for their cultural and natural heritage. • The project will include developing interactive presentations for the Anza Trail. • The project will provide valuable guidance that will influence future interpretive projects and programs.
