Membership benefits for Young Mensans

It can be tough to be the smartest kid in the room, but Mensa makes it a little easier by providing a wide range of benefits and opportunities specifically for Young Mensans. From contests to newsletters; discounts on AP prep courses and our own accelerated reading program, Mensa’s Gifted Youth benefits are just another way we provide our younger members with valuable resources.
