San Diego Youth Science Foundation

The San Diego Youth Science Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to inspiring curiosity, critical thinking, and environmental stewardship through hands-on science education. We partner with schools and community organizations to deliver place-based STEM programs, workshops, and field experiences that connect K–12 students to San Diego’s unique coastal and urban ecosystems. By engaging thousands of students each year in authentic scientific investigation, we help build scientific literacy, foster environmental responsibility, and empower the next generation of problem solvers and changemakers.
