Volunteer for the Annual
Student
Design Charrette

Every year, we bring together more than 200 students, teachers, STEM professionals, and corporate volunteers from diverse backgrounds to participate in our Annual Design Charrette for free. During this event, students receive a design challenge and create a solution according to set rules. As a volunteer, you can participate in varies ways:

  • Help with event logistics and coordination (check-in table, food area, etc.)

  • Work with small groups of students and (1) to (2) volunteers (managing the group’s time, facilitating participation, etc.)

Join the Emerging Leaders Advisory Group (ELAG)

ELAG consists of mid-career STEAM professionals looking to network, build their career, and give back to the community.

The mission of ELAG is to support the Salvadori Center through fundraising and volunteer activities to encourage the next generation of STEAM professionals to pursue STEAM degrees and careers.

Representing a variety of academic and professional STEAM fields, ELAG influences the younger generations through sharing day-to-day job experiences, volunteering in Salvadori events, and fundraising initiatives.

Volunteer to become a
Subject-Matter Expert

Throughout the school year, STEAM professionals and organizations visit our programs in the classroom and share their expertise with Salvadori students and Educators. Classroom visits include presentations that discuss their career in relation to what the students are learning, and answering STEAM-related questions posed by Salvadori Educators.
