More than 40 years ago, a vision first took shape in the form of the Institute's High School Scholars program, which today is one of three signature programs of Salk's Education Outreach department.

Whether internationally, nationally or in San Diego, sharing the knowledge of Salk science, volunteerism and philanthropy creates a powerful ripple effect that enhances and shapes the future of science.

Salk's community involvement is powerful and diverse and is key to training the next generation of scientists.

Through education, outreach events, partnerships and scientific presentations, we share our passion for Salk science that delivers innovative groundbreaking research impacting human health.
