The Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Iowa is currently seeking community volunteers to serve as mentors in a science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) program for 2nd-5th grade members at the Frank J. Ross Boys & Girls Club at Moore Elementary. The program will run once a week, from 4:30-5:30 p.m. on Thursdays. We’re looking for volunteers who will be able to commit to volunteering consistently with the program, would enjoy working with kids, and are interested in contributing to their community. Mentors will receive curriculum prior to sessions and will have all materials available for the session. Mentor/mentee teams will be exploring, experimenting and discovering STEM through hands on, real life experiences. Units include water and aquatic wildlife, moon and space as well as others. Volunteers should be prepared to get a little dirty and have a lot of fun.
Contact Elaine Collet for more information at 515-242-7925 or ecollet@bgcci.org.
