Caltech Y
Reading to Kids thanks the members of Caltech Y who volunteer
at our reading clubs.
"The Caltech Y is about creating environments that provide
students with the chance to own ideas, try them on, internalize
them, and take them into the world. The Y is about helping
students see that they can make a difference in the world.
Because of the excellent education Caltech provides, students
become leaders in the scientific community. Research shows
that much of what is important about how to live life is learned
outside the classroom. Relationships with peers, being exposed
to new and different ideas, different kinds of people, and the
opportunities to become involved in one's own community are all
significant aspects of a college education. Through a variety
of programs and services, the Y seeks to create an environment
in which students are encouraged in their out-of-classroom
interests. They are given opportunities to practice their
leadership skills, create activities for their peers, and
build relationships with each other and Caltech's faculty and staff."
