We are currently seeking volunteers with an active interest in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) to assist with our inaugural partner program with Blue Star Families.
As an organization that inspires girls in STEM we are, in turn, inspired by the intelligence, tenacity, and creativity of the young women we interact with on a daily basis. They are the reason we're working so hard to change the fact that only 28% of the current science and engineering workforce is female. Because as our participants make abundantly clear, they are the future of STEM!
As a classroom volunteer, you'll virtually get to interact one-on-one with participants, helping them troubleshoot and encouraging them to find their own solutions as they design and build projects based entirely upon trial and error. Volunteering consists of being with us virtually for a period of 1-1.5 hours.
All volunteers must complete a short volunteer questionnaire and classroom volunteers must undergo an electronic background check.
We are actively recruiting classroom volunteers for the dates below. If you wish to volunteer for any of our program dates please select your preferred age group and complete the following form.
