Volunteer: Join a Network of Scientists Supporting Science Education and TeachersThe nonprofit organization Science is Elemental (SIE) is looking for scientists eager to support elementary school teachers and spend a few hours a month (flexibly) answering teachers’ questions about their science curriculum. If desired (but not essential for volunteering), there will also be opportunities to speak (virtually or in-person) about your science or career to elementary school students. While some elementary school teachers are well-grounded in the sciences, most are not, as being so is not a requirement for a degree in elementary education, nor for being hired in most school systems. As a result, they may need science support from others to fully understand the material they are teaching. The goal of this project is to provide the scientific background teachers want to know so that they can better serve their students. We need some scientists now, to complete our testing, and then more once the school year starts. Once the network is live, we plan to provide the answers to teachers’ questions within one hour. Volunteers will use Slack to receive and answer questions. It is expected that each volunteer monitor Slack, when they have time, for questions being asked. In this manner, volunteers only provide their services when it is convenient for them to do so. Our goal is to have a sufficiently large network of scientist volunteers to allow coverage of the Slack channel for the entire day, and especially during and immediately after school hours. The qualifications for this volunteer role are: 1) At least three years working in any science (to include computer and data sciences, and engineering fields), or three years graduate study in such fields. 2) Willingness to obtain a Science is Elemental Slack account (at no cost to you) 3) Have some time during the day to monitor the Slack channel, even if it’s only for a few minutes at a time. 4) Desire to help elementary school teachers instill a love for the sciences in their students. In your response to this opportunity, please indicate if you might be available, depending on scheduling, to help SIE run some tests of the system this summer.

Volunteer: Mosaic Creative Writing Judges NeededVolunteer to Judge Creative Writing Are you a writer or enthusiastic reader? Do you want to help inspire the next generation of authors? Apply to serve as a judge for our Mosaic Creative Writing Program by February 9, 2026. Check out the FAQs below for a recap of our program and judging expectations. What is the contest? Mosaic is our creative writing program geared towards students who are enrolled in MCPS middle schools, between 6th – 8th grades. Students write on the topic of “My Culture” in the form of short story, poetry, or essay. Mosaic allows them to fully explore their feelings and cultural identity at home and in the classroom. What skills are needed? Judges are needed to evaluate students' written work, in the form of short story, poetry, or essay based on a provided rubric. Judges should be compassionate and open-minded readers with a firm grasp of grammar and appreciation for diversity in literature. Applicants should feel comfortable using technology for submitting scores and navigating the FOLMC website. Where does this take place? From the comfort of your home. Judges will download a .pdf file of entries and upload scores via the FOLMC website. What’s the timeline in 2025/6? Judges will be provided one grade of student entries on or about February 26th with scores being due to FOLMC by March 18th. If there is a tie, judges may be asked to read submissions from a different grade level to break the tie. Those entries would be provided by March 21st with scores being due March 27th. Each grade level is approximately 50 entries, including all three genres. Due to the varied length of entries it is impossible to determine the exact amount of time needed to read, judge, and submit scores, however, judges have frequently indicated they had enough time to complete all tasks and enjoyed the program immensely. Dates are approximate and can change based on current events. What are judges provided? Each judge is provided a password protected site at folmc.org with the scoring rubric, scoring grid, and student entries. Once judging is over, judges will be invited to attend the awards ceremony featuring a notable author and gifted a copy of the published anthology. Are previous judges permitted to participate again? Yes, we encourage previous judges to re-apply to participate. Organization: Friends Of The Library, Montgomery County Volunteer to Judge Creative Writing Are you a writer or enthusiastic reader?

For instance, if the student needs to create a budget or a LinkedIn profile and that is not the mentor's strength, a different volunteer will work with the student in that area.
