University on Friday, March 25th! The New York Youth Institute (NYYI) is a career development experience hosted at Cornell University for New York high school students to spend a day engaging with leading experts on critical global challenges, join in educational activities, and explore exciting ways to make a difference in New York and around the world.
Ninth through twelfth-grade students are eligible to participate.
Students research a global issue and write a paper under the guidance of a mentor (e.g., teacher, coach, parent).
Registration and participation are free; travel to Cornell University is not covered by the NYYI.
Participants explore global problems; collaborate with other passionate youth on solutions; meet world-class experts; grow professional networks; gain research and public speaking experience; earn recognition as Borlaug Scholars, and
