Once NYSF, always NYSF

The program ends, but your connection to it doesn’t have to. Thousands stay close to NYSF long after their own program. Some keep up the friendships, some come back to help run it, and some just like knowing the network is there. Whether you finished last summer or years ago, there’s a way back in.

Why NYSF

A community that lasts a lifetime

Alumni are the heart of NYSF; many return as mentors, leaders and volunteers. Staying connected keeps you close to a national network of people who simply get it, and it’s how you give a younger student the push someone once gave you.

  • A national network across science and technology
  • Come back to lead through the Student Staff Leadership Program, or mentor at events
  • Keep going with the National Youth STEM Summit

Don’t take our word for it

Vincent M. NYSF 2025
NYSF gave me the confidence that distance or location does not define your ability to do something.
Sauda T. NYSF 2006
NYSF changed the way I saw myself and what I thought was possible for my future.
Elizabeth L. NYSF 2013
I met my best friend at NYSF and she'll be a bridesmaid at my upcoming wedding. My first housemate at uni was a fellow NYSFer. I always felt part of such a great community after NYSF.
