Have you been looking for a way to make a big difference in a small amount of time? Consider volunteering with Science is Elementary!
Science is Elementary (SiE) believes that all students deserve access to high quality science education. We are seeking adult volunteers with a STEM background to facilitate engaging, hands-on science lessons in elementary schools. Volunteers work with small groups of students which allows more individualized attention and a chance for students to experience role models from the community.
It's a minimal time commitment - 2 hours a month during the school year. Training is provided. You'll learn, you'll experience joy, and you'll make a difference in the lives of some amazing students.
We are currently seeking volunteers on Tuesdays.

About Science is Elementary
Location:
650 Rosewood Court, Los Altos, CA 94024, US
Mission Statement
We provide inspiring, innovative, high-quality science experiences to the preschool and elementary school children who need them most.
Description
Leveraging children's inherent curiosity through hands-on experiments, in small groups, guided by scientist and engineer volunteers
Science education must be relevant, exciting, and experiential. We leverage the natural curiosity and creativity of elementary school-aged children.
Volunteer groups of engineers and scientists (1 adult per 8 children) bring "cool" hands-on experiments to the classroom and allow children to explore on their own while asking directed questions to guide their thought processes and investigations. Experiments draw on children's everyday experiences to show them that science is all around them and is fun.
