Volunteer
Scientific Adventures for Girls offers many opportunities to support girls in STEM and racial and gender equity, whether you’re a middle school student, a parent or STEM professional! Watch the video below to hear all about our volunteer roles, then sign up to empower girls when they’re young and help them know they belong in STEM.
Opportunities
Part time Teaching Assistants
Be a teaching assistant to help with the class lesson and make an impact in a girl’s life. You’ll help girls build confidence around STEM, support problem solving and collaboration, and develop perseverance.
Visit the girls in their classes to inspire and share with them. We welcome and invite professional female STEM Role Models during each curriculum session to talk about their STEM journey, answer questions and work alongside the girls on that day’s hands-on project.
Time commitment: 2-4 hours.
Sponsor STEM Supplies
Purchase the supplies our students need for STEM activities OR "Adopt a Lesson" by purchasing and assembling supplies for one to ten lessons at your next team or company event! We’ll work with you on a supplies drive. Every little bit counts! Email us to get started.
Lead a project station with a teacher at SAfG’s Family STEAM Events throughout the East Bay. Family STEAM Events, held throughout the year, engage children and their families in hands-on projects. Time commitment: 2 - 6 hour shifts.
Are you a middle or high school student who wants to encourage younger girls in STEM, continue your own STEM learning and build leadership skills? Time commitment: entire 27- week school year or 7-10 weeks during a STEM curriculum session.
Summer Library Teaching Assistants
Be a teaching assistant to help with class lessons at various libraries in the East Bay and make an impact in our community. You’ll help young girls and boys build confidence around STEM, support problem solving and collaboration, and develop perseverance.
Sponsor Session Take-Home STEM Kits
Assemble simple STEM kits (related to our curriculum theme) for our girls to take home and continue their STEM exploration outside the classroom.
Email us to get started.
