Love Tech? Our future Scientists, Engineers, and Innovators need YOU! Volunteer at The Tech Interactive
Do you have the desire to explore, learn, and instill wonder about STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, or math)? If so, then The Tech is the perfect place for you to volunteer!
At The Tech Interactive, we believe that everyone, no matter where they come from, can be an innovator and bring positive change to the world. Volunteers help make STEAM education accessible, approachable, and achievable to the next generation of problem solvers through one-of-a-kind interactions that inspire curiosity and excitement about science. Science education matters in our world, and you can be a part of a fun, creative volunteer team that encourages young people to try and fail and never give up!
So take a break from the everyday grind and help give back to the future innovators in your community at The Tech Interactive. Worried about volunteering around a busy schedule? We have excellent opportunities for you. It only takes three hours every other week to get started (but that’s just the minimum - many of our volunteers join us for more!).
Last year, our volunteers contributed over 10,000 hours! Won’t you join our friendly community, meet new friends, and inspire the next generation of innovators?
"Being a Tech volunteer was the most delightful volunteer experience I have had. Seeing the effort to cultivate science, curiosity and eagerness to learn in young minds is very encouraging."
