The YEAH Network is guided by a Steering Committee of research scientists and professors from 11 institutions and one professional society. The Committee oversees YEAH resources and conducts annual self-assessments. It is dynamic and grows with the network to maintain a balanced membership of different institutional types.

YEAH Fellows are graduate or senior-level undergraduate students who act as mentors and peers, supporting student teams across the virtual classrooms the network organizes. Fellows are nominated by YEAH member institutions for terms ranging from a month to a year or more.
