Thu, 15 Sep 2011 21:25:53 -0400

The Shriver Center's Service-Learning Program is recruiting 2 UMBC students to launch the start of a new weekly service opportunity offered through the LET'S GO Boys & Girls STEM Program, with the Meade Village Boys & Girls Club's First Lego League. Students majoring in STEM, especially Mechanical Engineering, are strongly encouraged to apply! The site is in need of 2 volunteers on Wednesdays, from 3:30-6:30pm (this includes travel time to and from the site), and a stipend of $300-400 is available for the positions. Transportation is not provided, but carpools may be arranged.

Interested students should complete the attached application, which is due to The Shriver Center by next Wednesday, September 21st. Completed application can be sent to clare6@umbc.edu, and qualified students will be contacted for interviews shortly after all submissions have been received. Students who are selected for the site will be able to enroll in the 096 Practicum and receive a transcript notation that recognizes their participation in The Shriver Center's Service-Learning Program.

This is a great way to get involved in an after-school program that is providing First Lego League opportunities through a service-learning experience!

Students with questions can contact Clare Greene (clare6@umbc.edu).
