The Young Researchers for Social Impact (YRSI) program is a month-long online engagement designed to immerse talented high school students in live research projects with YLAC’s partner organizations. Students are carefully selected, trained and mentored over a period of five weeks to build their capacity as critical thinkers and problem solvers. Projects concern contemporary issues in fields such as environment, gender, education, global health and governance.

Duration: 1 month in Jun – Jul; online weekend sessions
Focus: Social Science Research | Live Projects with NGO partners
Eligibility: 10th – 12th (including students going into 10th & graduating from 12th)
The 2026 edition is scheduled to run from the 20th of June to the 19th of July. Sessions are run on both Saturday and Sunday on the first and the last weekend, but only on Sundays in the intervening weeks. This structure is designed to allow students time to undertake individual work on their projects while accommodating constraints at school.
The program includes full group learning sessions, interaction with experts and speakers as well as personalized, small-group mentoring sessions. Since the program is executed online through remote collaboration, students from across the globe/ country can participate.
In the previous editions of the program, we have been joined by students from cities in India and also other parts of the world – Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Manipal, Chandigarh, Agra, Guwahati, Dubai, Kuwait, Muscat, Maastricht, Ho Chi Minh City and Lagos, to name a few.
