Palm Beach Area Mensa’s Gifted Youth Program creates opportunities for gifted children and their families to connect, explore, and grow together. Our program focuses on:
-
Hosting engaging, curiosity-driven events
-
Helping gifted kids build meaningful friendships
-
Encouraging learning beyond the classroom
Past favorites include beach clean-ups, museum tours, and nature center visits at local destinations such as the Morikami Museum & Japanese Gardens, Manatee Lagoon, Norton Museum of Art, Busch Wildlife Sanctuary, and Loggerhead Marinelife Center.
Our Gifted Youth help shape what we do next - we’re always excited to explore their ideas!
