Young Engineers Society

The Columbus Urban League’s Young Engineers Society (YES) Afterschool and Summer Learning program is an Outside-of-School-Time (OST) initiative for youth ages 10-14 (formerly known as the FRESH initiative). The program exposes participants to Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) and career readiness related concepts through engineering, while providing an academic support and social-emotional strength-based curriculum.

The Society of Young Engineers initiative is designed to instruct 50-75 youth annually. The after-school program operates from September-May, Monday through Friday, from 3 – 6 p.m. during the standard K-12 school year. The summer program operates from June through August from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m.
