Do you have a background or professional knowledge in any STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math) field? Are you excited to help future leaders of tomorrow? If so, Technology Access Foundation (TAF), a non-profit centered around providing underrepresented students with equitable STEM education, needs you this Fall!
We’re looking for mentors that are willing to guide our students along the path of gaining a fulfilling and meaningful career in STEM. Mentors would commit to meeting in person (or via teleconferencing) at least once a month and answering questions or concerns students may have via email at least once a week. Though our students at TAF@Saghalie range from 6-12th grade, many of seniors are at pivotal moment in their educational careers and are seeking positive guidance that could impact the rest of their lives.
If you’re interested in being an advocate, sounding board and wealth of wisdom for a 6-12th grade student in Federal Way, WA, please email development@techaccess.org .
