Young Skeptics is an after school program sponsored by The Better News Club, Inc. (BNC), an incorporated nonprofit organization run by a board of directors consisting of unpaid volunteers.[1][2] Young Skeptics' mission statement says “The mission of Young Skeptics is to promote and facilitate critical thinking and evidence-based learning among the youth of local school districts. We believe in discovery through tangible problem solving and the scientific method, and refrain from offering supernatural explanations for occurrences in nature. Young Skeptics is committed to teaching children how to think, not what to think.”[3][1][4] It ran a pilot program for elementary school children in Monroe County, New York.[5] Young Skeptics is undergoing national expansion.[6] Its first remote chapter will begin in February 2017 in San Luis Obispo, California.
