ABOUT US
Young Scholars’ Institute (YSI) is located just off of Route 29 and 1 block from the State House Complex. Housed in a stately converted mansion with ample private parking, YSI is a year round 501(c)(3) nonprofit, after school learning center that provides educational, cultural and recreational activities for students in grades Pre-K through twelve. Young Scholar’s Institute was established in 1990 in Trenton, New Jersey and has been serving area youth for 30 years.
YSI was founded by Jerri Morrison who recognized the need for supplemental support for students to have a successful school and college career. YSI was established to provide remedial, supplemental and enrichment programs that are needed in the Trenton area. Since 1990, with generous financial support from the Harbourton Foundation and other foundations, corporations and individuals, Mrs. Morrison has led YSI’s mission to empower Trenton-area youth through educational, recreational and cultural activities to help them develop the skills necessary to excel academically and to maximize their academic, vocational and career choices.
