Genspace is a community lab based in New York. This non-profit organization provides a safe environment for everyone who wants to conduct experiments, mostly in the fields of molecular biology. They work a lot with children, and the lab has obviously an educational purpose.

http://openwetware.org/
A good resource of DIY biology protocols and information. Focused on molecular biology and DNA-techniques. Some of the protocols seem directly taken from the 'real lab', and could turn out to be useless for most amateur biologist.

http://hackteria.org/
The Hackteria blog, and its wiki counterpart, are a good starting point for beginners in DIY biology. The experiments they propose are often cheap and technically feasible, and everything is well documented and illustrated by pictures.
