Volunteer Opportunities

  • Teach STEM to Kids

    4-H Vernon After School Enrichment Club takes place at three schools in Vernon, CT.  We aim to provide mentoring and STEM enrichment to children grades K through 5th in a club-like setting through activities involving: Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math; leadership and community service, as well as team and confidence building. 
     
    Come help spark interest in the minds of this community's youths by giving them the tools to empower their bodies and minds!! While we will switch to a virtual format this fall semester, we will continue to provide a STEM educational service for the kids at Vernon.
