Your Local Group
Palm Beach Area's Gifted Youth Program organizes events and activities aimed at creating opportunities for gifted children and their friends and family to come together, establish new friendships, and learn new things.
​
While group activities are always evolving, our most popular past events include beach clean-ups, museum tours, and nature center visits. Some of our favorite local spots to visit are the Morikami Museum & Japanese Gardens, Manatee Lagoon, Norton Museum of Art, Busch Wildlife Sanctuary, and Loggerhead Marinelife Center, but we rely on our Gifted Youth to tell us where they want to go!

Mensa Reaches Out
Mensa provides a wide range of benefits, programs, and opportunities built specifically with gifted children and their parents in mind.
​
From contests to publications, discounts on virtual courses through Johns Hopkins University: Center for Talented Youth, and our own accelerated reading program, our Gifted Youth benefits are just another way we provide our younger members with valuable resources. We have a dedicated full-time national team committed to assisting Young Mensans and their families, complemented by a group of local volunteers offering extra support.
