On August 1, the UCI Writing Project's Summer Youth Program completed its 36th year of offering engaging and academically enriching programs in writing, math/science, and afterschool activities for K-12 youth. Since its inception, the Summer Youth Program has enrolled more than 36,000 youth from California, the United States, and foreign countries during the summer months.

Nearly 700 youth also enrolled in the afternoon science and math sessions.
