Rosie Riveters' mission is to provide a fun space for girls ages 4-14 to imagine, create, and play while developing their skills in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
As a program volunteer you'll get to interact one-on-one with participants, helping them trouble-shoot and encouraging them to find their own solutions as they design and build projects based entirely upon trial and error and the examination of an example. The first 30 minutes of the program are set aside for our hands-on and interactive lesson. This lesson period will also provide volunteers with a lot of the information they will need to support questions from participants.
All volunteers must complete a short volunteer questionnaire and undergo an electronic background check.
