Spring Opportunities: Paid, work study and volunteer positions available!

It’s that time again and we need the help of some NU students!
The Center for STEM Education has openings for volunteer, work study and paid positions for the spring semester.

Positions are available on campus, and off campus at two local Boston K-8 schools.

On campus positions:
- Field trip coordinators and staff:
This would involve helping us run engineering field trips on campus for Boston students in grades 4-12. Our hands-on field trips cover topics such as renewable energy, biomechanics, river pollution and rockets. We need a few extra hands to join us for all or part of the field trips, working in small groups asking students questions about what they're learning and making sure they understand the activity and related concepts, and supervising lunch time!

Off campus positions:
Boston K-8 School opportunities at – the Curley in Jamaica Plain (just hop on the 39 bus in front of Northeastern) and Orchard Gardens in Roxbury (a quick walk from campus).
- TUTORS (We need general tutors; not just only STEM subjects)
- K-8 class in class assistants in special needs classrooms (many autistic classrooms)

If you have any interest in the positions listed above. Please email stem@neu.edu for more information!

Welcome to the Center for STEM Education's K-12 Outreach Blog!

WHO WE ARE: The Center for STEM Education is a Northeastern center focused on increasing opportunities and awareness in the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) fields for students, especially those from backgrounds currently underrepresented in these careers. We work closely with our community to accomplish this goal, and have many volunteer opportunities both on campus and in the schools and communities in which we work.
VOLUNTEERING: Whether you are passionate about enhancing math and science education for K-12 students, want to get more involved in your community, or just want to fulfill some required volunteer hours, you've come to the right place! Read about our upcoming volunteer opportunities in the blog below, and then click on the link for the event in the right-hand column to register. We offer both ongoing and one-day volunteer opportunities, and new events are being added all of the time. We encourage you to also use this blog to discuss your current service experiences with other students at NU!
