The Young Scholars’ Institute was born out of Mrs. Morrison’s belief that more support is needed to ensure the success of urban students. Since 1990, with generous financial support from foundations, corporations and individuals, Mrs. Morrison has led the YSI 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. Programs include a pre-school, one-to-one tutoring, a reading program, a writing class for middle school children, a six-week summer academic enrichment program, college tours, S.A.T. preparation, a career speaker series, and a college admissions workshop.
