Programs

	The Yogi Berra Museum & Learning Center offers culturally diverse, inclusive educational programming designed to stimulate students' interest in sport and its relationship to academic endeavors. Inspired by Yogi Berra's commitment to children, the Museum leverages the role of sports through programs that foster literacy, integrity, social justice, sportsmanship, hard work and dedication in all aspects of life. Our educational programs are enhanced by a visit to the Museum, which houses a collection of memorabilia of baseball and American history. This section highlights programs and materials offered by the Museum, which can be delivered on or off site.
