NYLT Site Visit to the Presidio

The NYLC team was excited to visit the site that this summer’s National Youth Leadership Training will call home for two weeks – The Presidio, San Francisco, California.

Although we arrived in the evening, we were greeted with smells of spring, eucalyptus, and the ocean. In the daylight, the sight of the Golden Gate Bridge at almost any location in the Presidio completed the amazing sensory experience. We knew our NYLT attendees would find as much excitement, inspiration, and engagement at the Presidio as we were.

Our visit to the Presidio consisted of meeting key strategic partners both at the Presidio as well as others in San Francisco. Everyone is excited to see the impactful programming of NYLT being offered in their own backyard this year. The team scouted locations for programming including campgrounds, beaches, trails, parade grounds, exhibition halls, and old barracks. While this is certainly a change from the Minnesota ‘Northwoods’, the previous home to NYLT, the Presidio offers unique venues, history, amazing scenery, great partnerships, and a new twist on a tried and true NYLC program. Did we mention there is no humidity nor mosquitos in San Francisco? See you there in July!
