Program themes that inspire discovery and benefit the community

The Youth CAUSE - Climate Action and Urban Sustainability Emissaries - Initiative is an exclusive, invite only program mentoring youth on how to be ambassadors of science in their communities. We encourage all forms and styles of scientific exploration, discovery and creativity whether it be a lab experiment testing a new idea, art project expressing a scientific opinion or a public service announcement showing how science can be used to solve issues.  By facilitating diverse research collaborations and effective communication with community leaders, our goal is to enable "future generations to have a voice" as emissaries of science, particularly in the areas of climate change, urban sustainability and public health.
