Customized Youth Programs for Groups

Offered year round, Custom Youth Programs highlight the best of what UC Davis has to offer. For more than 40 years we’ve developed high-quality, customized academic programs for university partners and Ministries of Education from around the world. Examples of these programs include:

  • English and Culture Programs — Students improve their English conversational skills and sharpen their listening skills while they learn about American culture. They build their confidence as English speakers and have the opportunity to experience California culture. Read about a recent partnership with Kyoto Otani High School and our UC Davis English program.
  • College Preparation and Study Skills Programs  Students learn to bridge the gap between high school and university life. This program features interactive discussions with admission representatives, and visits to universities such as UC Davis, UC Berkeley, Stanford and California State University, Sacramento. Participants attend workshops in preparing college applications, university survival techniques and time management skills. Students meet members of the university community to learn skills for social and academic success.
  • Science and STEM Programs — Known for its state-of-the-art research facilities, laboratories and progressive spirit, UC Davis embraces a philosophy of learning and discovery. Our science/STEM programs help young students improve their research, oral presentation and interviewing skills through hands-on learning. Students also visit a variety of science-related sites based on their specialized interests.
  • Team Building and Leadership Programs — This program for young leaders provides a unique experience for youth to expand their own individual strengths and interests with lectures and activities designed specifically to improve leadership qualities in a globalized world.

Let our team develop a program, curriculum and activities customized to meet the unique goals of your students.
