Volunteer.

Help us level the playing field for ALL students!

When students become interested in STEM careers, it can change their life trajectories. We are on a mission to create opportunities for students from underserved school districts and prepare them to become successful candidates for STEM careers in the future.

Edheads empowers at-risk students to become the next generation of STEM professionals!

We need volunteers to help us create engaging STEM content for all students, even those who experience academic inequalities. Our free games, experiences, mysteries, and career information expose students to STEM careers and motivate them to excel in school and find paths to success. There are many ways in which you can help.

Remote Volunteer Opportunities

STEM Content Writer
Would you like to help K-12 students develop realistic dreams for fabulous future careers? If you have a sense of humor, a sense of wonder, and little time to give each month, then Edheads is the place for you! We need people to help write and edit the new content. There are several types of content to choose from.

Expectations are that you will attend at least one meeting or post on Slack at least once a month to maintain contact with the group.

STEM Professional Idea Generator and Researcher
We are looking for people with a creative bent, and a strong sense of curiosity to brainstorm ideas for STEM Mysteries (guidance will be given), engaging topics for social media posts, new ways to present STEM careers to K12 students, and a willingness to research topics that might have been brainstormed by others. The idea is to increase the pipeline of content for students and teachers, expand our reach to STEM professionals, and deepen our connection to those that follow us on social media. 

We ask for roughly 3-5 hours of time per month, with a minimum of one video meeting per month. You do NOT have to live in Central Ohio to participate (but it would be helpful if your time zone was not 12 hours off ours – we like to sleep).
