AAAS and other organizations around the U.S. encourage members of the science, engineering, and medical communities to help foster STEM literacy and motivate K-12 students to pursue STEM careers by volunteering in classrooms. Volunteers in the AAAS program in the DC metro area:
- Are matched with a local teacher based on mutual needs and interests
- Visit the classroom throughout the school year
- Provide assistance in the classroom as determined by you and the teacher
