    Youth Science Institute, an independent not-for-profit organization, is a leader in nature-based science education, engaging 30,000 preschool through high school students annually in the wonders of science. Since its founding in the 1950's, more than one million children have experienced the excitement of a Youth Science Institute program.

    The Institute focuses on hands-on learning of life sciences, physical sciences and social sciences, including biology, chemistry, physics, geology and astronomy. Programs are conducted at its three Science and Nature Centers in Vasona, Sanborn and Alum Rock parks, in schools and at community events. Centers feature live mammals, birds, insects, amphibians and reptiles in some combination.

    Youth Science Institute’s science education methods develop the critical thinking skills that are necessary for a child’s academic success, which ultimately impacts his or her opportunity for economic success. In addition, its programs help children understand and appreciate the delicate interrelationships between themselves and the world around them. This inspires them to be involved citizens, developing their capacity to contribute to their local community and the health of the planet.
