As neighbors, we have much to offer each other and much that we can do together to promote the vitality of our home, the City of New Haven. New Haven public school students are welcomed to Yale throughout the year as the youngest members of our academic community. High school students take Yale college courses for credit, participate in world language classes, explore our shared cultural heritage through visits to the Yale museums, attend lectures on weekends, and conduct research in Yale laboratories through summer internships. In addition, Yale hosts students of all ages for concerts, museum visits, demonstrations, and other events. Yale faculty, staff, and students are actively engaged in these programs. As a primary sponsor of New Haven Promise, a visionary scholarship program, Yale has continued to reaffirm our shared stake in the strength of our community, promoting college access for New Haven students and furthering the development of a skilled workforce for the future. The following pages detail the comprehensive programming that connects Yale to the young people of New Haven.
