Volunteering
If there is an elementary school or high school branch of STEM 4 Youth in your area, we can help facilitate a connection between you and the branch/school!
However, there are a few important things to keep in mind:
Representation
Your actions and behavior while volunteering represent STEM 4 Youth as a whole. It is crucial to act respectfully, responsibly, and professionally, as you will be seen as a representative of the organization. This includes treating others with kindness, following instructions, and maintaining a positive attitude.
Transportation
As a volunteer, you will be responsible for arranging your own transportation to the elementary schools where the volunteering activities take place. This ensures that you can fulfill your commitment and be punctual for the assigned tasks.
Direction
The branch leader, who created the branch, holds the leadership role and is responsible for guiding and coordinating the volunteer activities. It's important to listen to and follow the instructions of the branch leader, as they have the experience and knowledge to ensure a successful volunteering experience.
