GHCC/ JHU CEO - Robotics Volunteer Coordinator

The Johns Hopkins University Center for Educational Outreach (CEO) was established to develop educational and outreach programs directed towards underrepresented groups in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Many of the fastest growing jobs in the US need at least a basic understanding of math and science. Afterschool STEM programs have been shown to increase STEM skills, interest in STEM careers as well as likelihood of graduation and pursuing STEM careers. The goal of this project is to create sustainable community robotics programs for Baltimore City Public School children who may not otherwise have the opportunity to engage in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) programs and help the Baltimore City Public School System with its VEX robotics programs by creating infrastructure to support its growth. This position is sponsored by Greater Homewood Community Corporation (GHCC) in Baltimore, MD; and the VISTA member will serve with JHU – CEO in Baltimore, MD. GHCC serves as the VISTA Project Sponsor to more than 20 nonprofit, government, and community organizations throughout Baltimore City and Maryland. Established in 1969 to help neighborhoods become safer, better places to live, GHCC's mission is to build and strengthen vibrant urban communities. GHCC will provide support to JHU – CEO and the VISTA member throughout the year, including recruitment, training, professional development opportunities, and resources.
