What is EVOLUTIONS?

The EVOLUTIONS After School Program — or “EVO” as it’s called by most students — is a FREE club for New Haven and West Haven high school students who:

 

  • Like science
  • Are serious about school, and
  • Think they might go to college.

It’s a place where you’ll explore what you want to do with your life, learn how to make yourself competitive for college and make a bunch of great friends from other schools — students like you! Best of all, you can earn community service hours and academic credit at your school for participating!

 

Worried that it might not be fun? We mix it up with projects, fun and field trips. Here’s some of the stuff you’ll get to do:

 

  • Annual College Visitation Trip!
  • EVO Community Campouts! 
  • Group Exhibit Project! 
  • Internships with Yale professors! 
  • Paid work in the Peabody Museum! 
  • + Many other opportunities!

Still skeptical? Listen to what EVO students have to say:

 

“I love EVO, I don’t know what I’d do if I didn’t come. I learn a lot but that’s not why people do after school programs—that’s a bonus. I’ll probably do it through high school.”


“At EVOLUTIONS it’s more like a big family…”


“The kids at EVO are passionate about what they do, and why they're here.”


“We think different.”


“I like it [EVOLUTIONS] because I meet new people and spend time with friends and it gives me a place to be myself and learn ...”


“It rocks!”


“All of my top freshmen experiences have come from working in EVOLUTIONS. I wouldn’t trade a second of my time in EVO for anything in the world.”
