MOSI, Museum of Science and Industry

The Museum of Science and Industry (MOSI) in Tampa and its partner, the Tampa Metropolitan Area YMCA, will establish an innovative, after-school science enrichment, education and mentoring program for at-risk youth in Hillsborough County. At-risk high school students from MOSI's highly successful YES! (Youth Enriched by Science) Team Program will mentor and teach, using hands-on science activities, similarly at-risk elementary and middle school students. Through this project, two groups of at-risk youths (instructors and students) will receive a constructive after-school educational experience. *Awarded under Museum Leadership Initiatives program - now part of National Leadership Grants for Museums
