Staff Volunteers
If you are someone concerned about the future of African-American and Hispanic youth
in the Monmouth County, New Jersey area read on ...
PACE (Program for Acceleration in Careers of Engineering) is a science and engineering
awareness program in which professionals donate their time to work with African-American
and Hispanic high school students to help prepare them for college and technical
careers. PACE - Monmouth is in need of new volunteer staff.
Volunteers are needed to:
- Teach high school level math and engineering classes
- Mentor students
- Help run math and science competitions
- Help plan and carry out program events such as college tours, engineering field
trips, and cultural celebrations
- Help generate new and creative ideas on how to make student learning more meaningful,
fun, and engaging
-
Help identify funding sources and solicit grants
Your commitment can be as little as teaching twice a month or getting involved solely
as a mentor, to as much as helping to plan trips, events, and other program activities.
If you care about the youth of our community and want to get involved to make a
difference, contact:
