Role models matter, especially in STEM. Many young people never pursue a STEM career, even when they’re good at it and genuinely interested, because they’ve never met a STEM professional. It’s hard to imagine yourself in a career you’ve never heard of. This is why we need you. When you volunteer, you provide youth with a vision of what is possible. Whether you volunteer with us once or several times during a program year, you can shift a child’s entire sense of what their future can hold.
