Volunteer Sign-Ups-
Monthly Mentors: Middle & Elementary Outreach
Come be a part of the new
SWE outreach program starting this year!
Monthly Mentors is designed to reach disadvantaged students,
specifically the children of migrant workers in the area. With this program we
are exposing students to multiple engineering disciplines, through hands-on
activities and one-on-one mentorships. We are looking for volunteers who are
excited about engineering and want to work with elementary or middle school
students. We’ll have a general interest meeting at the beginning of the school
year.
Questions? Contact: Sami
Low, Middle School Outreach Chair cpswemsoutreach@gmail.com
