Youth Forest Monitoring Program (YFMP) 
YFMP is an innovative summer internship for students entering grades 9-12. Participants learn about forest ecology, explore their local forest lands, engage in forest health monitoring, and network with forest professionals. Areas that students monitor include lands impacted by wildfire, historic mining claims, important watersheds, grazing allotments, and recreation areas.
The Research Science Institute Each summer approximately 75 high school students gather for six of the most stimulating weeks of their young lives. Selected from the United States and other nations, these students participate in a rigorous academic program which emphasizes advanced theory and research in mathematics, the sciences, and engineering. There is no cost to students for tuition, room and board. The only expense is for transportation to and from MIT.
