I would like to introduce you to Science, Engineering and Mathematics Link Inc (SEM Link), a nonprofit that promotes student achievement and career exploration in math and science for K-12 students. We achieve our mission by recruiting STEM professionals and retirees as well as undergraduate and graduate students to implement our programs. SEM Link has two core programs: the Experimental Design Program and the Math and Science Career Academy, which provide students with opportunities to develop the classroom learning experience in addition to teaching them skills that are transferable to other areas of life. Our Experimental Design Program teaches students how to design and conduct experiments for math and science fairs utilizing research, laboratory and scientific literacy skills gained through individual and group learning opportunities as well as mentoring Our Math and Science Career Academy exposes students to math and science through hands-on activities, real-world applications and career exploration. Since our inception, we have enhanced the math and science educational experiences for over 1000 youth in Atlanta, Georgia and San Francisco Bay Area.
SEM Link has a diversity of opportunities for individuals or groups that want to give of their time and/or professional expertise to help the organization achieve its mission. You can find more information about the various volunteer opportunities on our Volunteers Page on our website. However, the volunteer opportunity that I’m recruiting for is a Hands on Activity Leader for the after-school programs of our community partners. These programs take place Monday through Thursday from 2:30-5:30pm at local middle and elementary schools. This volunteer opportunity will require approximately 1 hour and half of your day (an hour to implement the activity and approximately 15 minutes before and after the activity for set up and clean up). We would like to extend this volunteer opportunity to students, faculty, and staff in your institution's STEM-related departments. Please have interested volunteers complete our Volunteer Information form (link is provided below). They may also e-mail me directly at sstennett@semsuccess.org for more information

If you have any questions about the volunteer opportunities please contact me via email atsstennett@semsuccess.org. Thank you in advance for your consideration in volunteering with our organization and help us “unveil potential through exposure”.
