Opportunities From: Montgomery County Volunteer Center

MCPS STEM Volunteers is an organization of STEM professionals promoting STEM learning in Montgomery County Public Schools.

Our  MCPS STEM Volunteers organization recruits STEM professionals interested in volunteering in Montgomery County Public Schools, at levels K-12. Retired volunteers usually commit to one day a week in their school classroom(s) of choice. Non-retired volunteers commit to at least one hour per week in the classroom. Here is a video of volunteers in the MCPS classrooms: https://youtu.be/HP4vvqKf4bQ

Our organization works to connect interested volunteers to MCPS teachers who are seeking STEM volunteers in their classrooms. We attempt to match the volunteer's interest in serving at a particular grade level (K-12) to a requesting school that lies within a reasonable commuting distance. At any one time, we usually have multiple requests for volunteers from teachers in MCPS grades K-5, 6-8, and 9-12. 

Volunteers work directly with teachers and students in many different ways to promote students' knowledge and love of science, and to demonstrate how science is important in the lives of everyone in our society.
