The Young Researchers for Social Impact (YRSI) program is a month-long online engagement designed to immerse high school students in live research projects with YLAC’s partner organizations. Candidates are carefully selected, trained and mentored over a period of four weeks to build their capacity as critical thinkers and problem solvers who can leverage the tools of research and advocacy to produce thought-provoking solutions to pressing issues that affect our societies today.
Projects concern contemporary issues in fields such as environment, gender, education, global health and governance, and students assist YLAC partners with specific research questions. Partners include organizations such as Our Democracy, Teach for India, Breakthrough, Sangath, Haiyya, Indian School of Democracy, Lung Care Foundation, World Resources Institute and Nipman Foundation, to name a few.
Applications to the 2022 edition of the program are now open. Please follow the links below to see details and apply.
