Dear Alumni, 

This fall the YES Program will celebrate 14 years of excellence.  It’s because of your tenure as a YES teen that we were recently able to secure funding from the US Navy. This spring we welcomed the largest incoming cohort with 126 paid and volunteer members. They brought the total number of current teens to 350.  We provided science education programming at 12 off site locations this summer in addition to two Summertime Science venues and working in the 5050 Oakland building.  In this time of growth we want to take the opportunity to thank you as a valued alumnus. You are a member of a family that is over 800 strong and growing!  Your past and present contributions to the YES program have been invaluable to the success of the program. Our future will not be the same without your continued support.
