Youth Science Institute

Youth Science Institute is a nonprofit organization that partners with nature to teach science to more than 30,000 preschool through 8th grade students annually. Since 1953 YSI has inspired children’s enthusiasm for science and 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, and family events at its Science & Nature Centers at Alum Rock Park in San Jose, Sanborn County Park in Saratoga, and Vasona Lake County Park in Los Gatos, and in schools throughout Silicon Valley and the Peninsula. For more information, visit www.youthscience.org or call 408-356-4945. We have summer seasonal employment for those with a background in Science and working with children, and occasional other positions open on our year-round staff.
