Youth Science Institute - YSI

Youth Science Institute is a nonprofit organization that partners with nature to teach science to 30,000 preschool through 8th grade students annually. Since 1953, YSI has inspired children's enthusiasm for science and a love of learning, developed critical thinking skills, and forged connections with nature that foster personal health and earth stewardship.

YSI delivers school and community programs, summer science camps, after-school programs, and family events at its Science and Nature Centers at Alum Rock, Sanborn, and Vasona Parks, and in schools throughout the Silicon Valley and the Peninsula.

YSI’s vision is ambitious: to reach every child in Santa Clara County and Silicon Valley with hands-on science education, and to reach them multiple times each year. One key strategy of our vision is to continue to increase the number of Title One schools and financially and academically at-risk students we serve.
