Science in Service

Science in Service is a unique collaboration of Stanford students, science and engineering faculty, service-learning educators, and Peninsula community organizations. The program connects Stanford students to youth in our neighboring communities through science mentorship and after-school science clubs, providing students a unique opportunity to learn about and participate in science outreach.

Stanford participants receive training in key techniques for teaching science through mentorship. Trained students then serve as science mentors to children in after-school programs at the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Peninsula (BGCP) in East Palo Alto, Menlo Park, and Redwood City, with ongoing support from the Science in Service staff. There are opportunities for Stanford students who are new to science outreach as well as students who have previous teaching experience.
