Arlington STEM Volunteer Program

The Arlington STEM Volunteer Program aims to foster STEM literacy for all students and help prepare students for futures in STEM careers.  An affiliate of the AAAS/SSE STEM Volunteer Program, program professionals commit to volunteering in a school throughout the school year to assist K-12 STEM teachers in their classroom.  Our volunteers work with the classroom teachers to jointly develop activities that take advantage of their unique skills and qualifications.  The Arlington STEM Volunteer Program offers a unique opportunity for both students and volunteers alike.
