| We
coordinate weekly hands-on science
clubs, year-round, at elementary schools and community
centers in Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti, and we match mentors
with teens at Ann Arbor’s Scarlett Middle School. |
 |
We are always looking
for more volunteers to do science with kids or to serve as mentors to
individual students. In both cases, we expect a minimum commitment of
one semester on a weekly basis. |
| If you cannot make
that large a commitment of time, consider serving for 6-8 weeks as a
Career
Mentor or bringing specialized science activities or
demonstrations to groups as a Wandering
Wizard. |
| Besides looking for individuals, we also like to hook
organizations up with local sites for a long-term association.
For example, Pi Kappa
Alpha fraternity adopted our science club at George Elementary
School in Ypsilanti for two years, before beginning a new club
several years ago at the Hikone
Recreation Center in southeastern Ann Arbor. |
| If you are the service
chair for your organization, consider adopting one of our sites. We
provide the organization, the site leadership (after some volunteer
experience, one of your members can be hired for this part-time job),
and the record-keeping—your volunteers only have to show up to
work (and play!) with kids. |
| Please read more about our sites and programs, and get in
touch to help where your heart lies! |
