Humanities Program Targets Local Students
This July, Yale’s Humanities Program will kick-off its two-week pilot program “Citizens, Thinkings, Writers: Reflecting on Civic Life,” where twelve NPHS high-school students will live on the Yale campus and participate in the seminar along with supplementary workshops and activities. Here students will connect historical writings on civic life to contemporary life in New Haven.

Already serving 500 kids with 400 tutors, the program has still been forced to turn away a large amount of kids.
Yale Builds Humanities Outreach Network
