Are you looking for a meaningful volunteer opportunity??
Our branch members partner with the Portland area Girl Scouts and the Saturday Academy to offer beginning programming classes to young girls in support of our commitment to STEM education for girls and women. No special tech skills are necessary - just a desire to help young girls expand their knowledge of STEM. If you would like to know more about this program, please contact Lisa Perrine our STEM volunteer coordinator, who will be happy to talk with you about time commitments and responsibilities.
