Get involved in science education and outreach

NCI is launching a science education and outreach program to connect scientists with schools in the community. The program aims to enhance our next generation of scientists STEM experiences in middle and high school, while empowering teachers to provide high-quality science education.

Work on your science communication skills

Volunteers will develop their skills in communicating science clearly to individuals of all ages and scientific backgrounds. Opportunities will range from talking to middle school and high school students about your education and research experiences to providing workshops ​science teachers.

Give back to the community
