Hello there,

We are delighted to inform you that our applications to volunteer and mentor in our camps have opened up! Please read below for more information about these opportunities.

 


Mentor with Geering Up

Geering Up strives to provide all youth the opportunity to investigate STEM in a fun, education, and safe environment. In order to provide this opportunity, we need the help of mentors. Mentors inspire our youth to believe that they themselves can be tomorrow's leaders in STEM. We are looking for generous STEM professionals and experts to help enable the incoming generation of changemakers with futureproof skills. If you are passionate and involved in a STEM field we would love to have you come in and work with our campers either online or in-person at one of our six locations!



Program Description:

  • This summer we will have mentorship opportunities in our in-person and online summer camps. 
  • We host mentor events in our camps geared towards kids grades 2-12.
  • In our summer camps, mentors are invited to join us for an event once, or multiple times throughout the summer. Whatever works best for them.
  • Being a mentor can look like many things, depending on your interests and expertise. You can give a short presentation on the work you do and how you got into your field, a lab tour, etc.


 


STEM Leadership Program

The UBC Geering Up STEM Leadership Program is a year-long initiative focused on the professional development and training of high school students for the purposes of establishing strong values indicative of a STEM Ambassador. The summer component of the program will focus on training and professional development in addition to volunteer work with Geering Up. This time will provide the Leaders-in-Training with the tools they need to be successful STEM Leaders in the future. 

Leaders-in-training are volunteers who support our summer camps for kids. They will work closely with our instructor team to deliver and share STEM to youth in a hands-on and dynamic learning environment. This program is only open to high school students going into grade 10, 11, or 12 in September 2022. A full description of the program can be found here. You can also browse through our webpage for more information here. The application deadline for this program is April 19th at 11:59 PM.


 

Other Upcoming Volunteering Opportunities
