Yucaipa Valley Gem & Mineral Society, Inc. is a 501(c)3 non-profit serving the community of Yucaipa, California and surrounding communities in Southern California. We are implementing a new project, "Lapidary for Youths", to assist students who are now forced to go to school online. Their options are very limited in our area, and there is a dire need for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math) projects. Through this program students will be able to attend Lapidary Arts, Earth Science and proper stewardship of public lands classes in our existing workshop and classroom.
