Children Across America, a 501c3 non profit located in Milford, MA, has available openings for volunteer interns and a program manager for 2021 Summer coding Club for girls. We already have a coding program but this year we will have a specific club just for young girls 4-6 all from the underserved community. STEM for young girls is crucial, especially in the minority community. We are committed to showing young girls from immigrant families to pursue science and math careers.
Children Across America provides educational programming(STREAM) to America's under served children. The Milford office deals with residents of Milford and the surrounding towns of Blackstone Valley although we will never turn a child away no matter where they live. It is a 100% volunteer organization and all of our services are provided free of charge.
We are also looking for leaders who can help develop this program. Ideal for a college interns.
Our Summer STREAM Club, which is STEM which we have added reading and arts, was created to help with summer learning loss in low income families. Now that COVID 19 has severely impacted our school year, this program becomes even MORE crucial to help these children be ready for the next grade level in the fall. The impact on our children 4-9 year olds is massive.
Club operates M-F 930-1230 in July and August. STEM for young girls is crucial, especially in the minority community. If you can work 1 or more days a week, please contact us about this volunteer opportunity. CORI check is required for all volunteers.
