The Science Zone AmeriCorps Program
 
 
 
The Science Zone is a non-profit organization that delivers educational services to students and families with the goal of increasing interest in STEAM careers and raising the level of science discourse in the community. The Science Zone serves two fundamental purposes: 1) provide educational opportunities by offering classes, science clubs, field trips, outreach activities, and camps; 2) provide an enriching opportunity for experiential learning by providing a lively, ever-changing museum experience for families to experience together. The Science Zone AmeriCorps members contribute to this effort by participating in educational activities such as teaching camps, classroom lessons, field trips, outreach events, mentoring, tutoring, and other varied activities, which contribute to the success of the student in school and raise the level of scientific competence and confidence among young people. Members will receive training in a variety of areas to support and enhance the member's service to the students and the community. Members will primarily engage with students during the school week through before and after-school science clubs and by providing Saturday activities in the community, outdoors, or at The Science Zone. There may be occasional evening community education events as well. Applicants may select semester, year, or summer-long terms of service. Summer positions will be supporting full-day summer camp programs. The Science Zone strives to match the applicant's availability and desires to the needs of our educational team. Applicants may select a term of service from three-quarters time to abbreviated time in order to fit their schedule.

Member Duties : Members will support the educational goals of The Science Zone and will work to increase access to STEAM education and to raise the level of confidence and competence of young people in our community. This position is most suitable for members that have availability during the before-school and after-school hours as well as some Saturdays. Candidates may choose whether to fill this position during the school year (2024/25) and/or summer (2025). The summer camp season is more intensive and will include day-long camp experiences for youth from ages 5-15.
