Young and Young-at-Heart is an early-career group based at Moffett Field, CA.
Young and Young-at-Heart (YYAH, pronounced "yah-yah") is an early-career group that hosts social events and acts as a hub for community activities. We do everything from hosting career building seminars to serving up ice cream socials. Come say hi at our next event!
YYAH events occur approximately once a month at the end of the month. All USGS employees and affiliates are welcome to join us! While we are focused on providing services to early-career scientists and researchers, people of any age and career stage are encouraged, welcomed, and appreciated at all our events.
For information about YYAH events and other events on the Moffett Field campus, please join the YYAH Teams Channel and stay up to date!
