About Us

The Youth Exploring Science (YES) program further promotes the Saint Louis Science Centers’ mission "to stimulate interest in and understanding of science and technology throughout the community." In an effort to do so, the YES program works with 250 underserved teenagers throughout the course of their high school career, providing them with a inquiry learning environment that focuses on science, mathematics, and technology. YES teens are recruited from over twenty partnered community based organizations who are committed to serving low-income families throughout the St. Louis area. Participants of YES gain professional, academic, and real world skills that assist in building self-confidence and personal success. YES teens interact directly with organizations and community partner members to help facilitate science events and activities.
