National Youth Science Forum
The National Youth Science Forum (NYSF) is a non-profit organisation that runs several residential programs to encourage young people in their passion for science.Our programs show the wide variety of engaging, rewarding and inspiring study and career options available in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields.
Our flagship program is the NYSF Year 12 Program, which runs in January each year for students about to enter year 12. Since 1984, more than 14,000 young Australians have progressed through the NYSF Year 12 Program, including those run under the organisation’s previous banner, the National Science Summer School (NSSS).
Rotary is the Founding Partner of the NYSF, and every year Rotarians continue to support the NYSF Year 12 Program by promoting the opportunity in local communities, managing applications and selections of students and assisting with funding or fund-raising for student fees to attend. Rotarians also volunteer during the NYSF Year 12 Program in January. We estimate that Rotarians contribute more than 20,000 volunteer hours to the NYSF every year.
Our club offers sponsorship of young people wishing to attend the program by paying the program cost on their behalf.
For further information please contact us and our New Generations Director will be in touch with all the necessary details.
