We are seeking volunteers to teach science to the elementary schoolers at our after-school program! This is a fun way to encourage children to explore and ask questions about the world from a scientific angle!
Planning your activities gives you freedom and room for creativity. For example, you might enjoy asking/encouraging lots of great questions, experiments, group games, arts and crafts projects, building "challenges," outdoor scavenger hunts, fieldwork, storytelling, interactive demonstrations, and much more!
You can decide what day and time-frame work best for you within the available hours of 3:30 pm - 5:30 pm (or, even until 7:00 pm), Monday-Friday. If you could come for at least 45 minutes, once per week, for at least four weeks, that would be much appreciated.
Please let us know if you are interested! We warmly welcome the help of students, retirees, recent graduates, professionals, groups of friends, and so many others.. simply, anyone who feels enthusiastic about this opportunity!
Thank you for considering to educate and inspire children about science!

Mission Statement
Community Empowerment Northern Virginia (CENV) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with this core belief: when one plants a S.E.E.D. by Strengthening, Educating, Empowering and Developing, strong communities will grow. To facilitate this movement, CENV offers one-to-one mentoring, tutoring, adult education workshops, leadership training, and much more. These services empower personal growth, support academic success and educate people toward developing self-sufficiency.
Description
Today’s society is challenged by an increasingly difficult world. Family problems, substance abuse, economic pressure, and the lure of gangs and delinquency threaten our youth physically and emotionally. Community Empowerment Northern Virginia is dedicated to providing community-based services that support, guide and inspire people to build life skills required to become resilient, self-sufficient adults. Using adult and peer mentoring to provide positive role models and promote skill development, Community Empowerment Northern Virginia strives to help build self-acceptance, strengthen school performance, and enhance executive functioning.
By providing people with positive role models in the community, Community Empowerment seeks to achieve the following objectives:
- Provide people with a vital sense of belonging
- Give people a sense that the greater community also cares about them
- Move people forward on their way to conscious and self-sufficient adulthood
- Support people on their journey to discover their true potential
- Provide people with access to the resources necessary to achieve social and academic success
- Help more people graduate high school and move on to higher education that supports their dreams
- Create an array of services that complement the web of services already existing in our communities
- Educate and empower parents and families to be more involved in family and community growth
