Information for Schools and Universities

YSA Melbourne is an organisation for young Australians aged 15-25 with a passion for science. We maintain active involvement with many schools & universities within both Melbourne and regional Victoria. These are relationships we value very highly.

YSA is unique in the sense that it is one of only few organisations in Australia that bring together young, bright and enthusiastic STEM students. The majority of our members are in their final years of high-school. With YSA Melbourne’s frequent work with major universities in Victoria, we have often found that the interactions and experiences gained through YSA functions and events are significant influencing factors when students come to placing VTAC preferences for university entrance, with many members studying Science, Engineering or other related degrees.

YSA volunteers with many outreach programs run for high school and primary school students through the universities, and are always looking for more opportunities to help and be invovled. We typically offer chaperones or staff who are trained in ice-breaker and group activities, and how to manage and lead groups of students to maximise their outcomes from the program. If you are organising an event for a university, please feel free to get in touch with us, we are always happy to discuss what we can do for you!

We have also worked with many high and primary schools over the years on a variety of curriculum, outreach and support programs. If you would like to discuss what we can do for your school, please feel free to send us an email!
