Organization Mission:

STEM & Buds is a for-youth, by-youth 501(c)(3) bridging students to mentors, shaping ideas into initiatives, and translating science for civics on an international level. We try to make STEM—and its issues that affect us—participatory and accessible for all.

Our Naperville chapter focuses on exposing elementary and middle school students to diverse STEM topics through hands-on applications. Then with the support of their mentors, students reflect on their identities and interests to create their own STEM-based project which they will share at the end of the program.

Description of Volunteer Opportunities:

Volunteers are expected to help in ways such as creating a curriculum that can be used throughout our bi-weekly sessions with both elementary and middle schools, or providing additional support as mentors throughout our STEM sessions at the YMCA. We are also looking for someone with website designing experience to support us with updating our website monthly with more information!

Minimum Age Requirement:

Skills or Experience Necessary:

As a volunteer, we are looking for someone passionate about the STEM field who can share their passion with others around them, specifically younger kids. We are also looking for someone with unique and innovative ideas to expand our organization and bring informative but fun experiences to younger kids.
