Science Leader – Student Connection

                       

Volunteer as a science leader

We exclusively reach young people from City Heights, a low-income, urban, and racially diverse community. By providing young people with science education, mentorship, and the tools to overcome challenges, they break the cycle of poverty and enter science and science-related fields.

We need volunteers who are racially diverse and willing to share their journey of becoming a scientist! Many of our students have never seen a scientist who looks like them, which is not acceptable. Because of this, we commit to ensuring the majority of all volunteers reflect the students of the community of City Heights.

About the Opportunity

Participate in a virtual Q & A about your career pathway and journey as a science leader. Encourage and answer questions that help students explore science and various career paths.

MORE DETAILS

  • Prepare 1-2 visuals (e.g., photos, videos, research equipment, etc.) to support your conversation.
  • Connect what you do to the lesson of the day (we will help you prepare).
  • Must be an undergraduate student, graduate student, or professional who works in science or science-related fields.

  • Two 20-minute virtual appearances.
  • One 30-minute block to review reading materials and prepare slides.
