Youth Empowerment in Science (Y.E.S.) at UCLA

YES at UCLA is an organization inspiring the next generation of scientists through a team of highly motivated, undergraduate educators. Our ultimate vision is to show young students (3rd to 5th graders) that anyone, regardless of race, gender, or socioeconomic status, can find success in the field of science. We will fulfill this mission by holding science lessons at schools in the LA area. New members will be trained to work with children, contact schools of their choice, prepare small lectures, and ultimately lead clinics. Whether members need volunteer hours or simply want to help their community, YES will track their service throughout the year.
