Our vision is to live in a world where all young people are safe, valued, connected to caring adults, and are prepared for productive and fulfilling lives. We believe that progress is made toward this goal when we develop and encourage perspectives based on hope, a vision of what is possible, and the courage to act. The youth that come to Oasis Center come for many reasons, from crisis to opportunity. Regardless of why or how they come, or what program or activity they may engage in, our goals for each of youth are the same. These are Oasis Center’s four Impact Areas. Safety: Youth thrive when they are emotionally and physically secure. Signifcance and Belonging: Youth thrive when they experience significance, belonging, and positive connection to the community. Participation and Empowerment: Youth thrive when they make decisions and take direct action to improve their lives. Generosity and Justice: Youth thrive when they live generously and work for justice. For all youth in every Oasis program, improvement in these four impact areas is the yardstick by which we measure our success. Get more information: www.oasiscenter.org

A lot has changed since the Evergreen first opened in 1921. Fortunately, much has remained the same. As in the old days, the Evergreen is still a meeting spot for all walks of life to come and enjoy a classic Yosemite experience. However, these days you will be just as likely to enjoy the company of an international tourist as that of a Park Ranger, rock climber or local resident. As owners of the Evergreen, we feel lucky to be stewards of such a special place, and we are committed to making sure the Evergreen continues to create lasting memories for another hundred years. While certain traditions have become things of the past (like bootlegging and poor shower pressure!), we are proud and excited that the Evergreen now offers an all-around lodging and guest experience that is unparalleled in the Yosemite area. Our goal is to provide gracious and friendly service, quality products, private and communal settings, and a huge array of opportunities to educate you about the Yosemite area. You will find many ways to create your ideal experience. The Evergreen’s goals are to benefit not only our guests, but our environment, community and staff as well. We like to believe this holistic approach makes the lodge a special place and a unique resort. As a result of our balanced priorities, the Evergreen was certified as a founding B Corporation in 2007. B Corps are a relatively new form of company that uses the power of business to solve social and environmental problems. B Corps are designed for long term sustainability, putting the health of our communities, environment and staff on the same level as the health of the bottom line.
