HAAS Science In Service
Science in Service is a program developed by Stanford's HAAS Center for Public Service that connects Stanford students to young people in our local communities through science mentorship and after-school science clubs.
Henry's Place
Henry's Place is an after-school program designed to motivate and excite kids about learning through fun, hands-on, interactive activities. Each Stanford student is paired up with one elementary school student for a quarter (and longer if possible) in order to foster a bond between the two. Our focus is on creativity though science.
Science Bus
The Science Bus offers an after-school science curriculum for grade school children at the East Palo Alto Charter School (EPACS), a great school in a low-income part of the San Francisco Bay Area. The program is developed and taught by graduate and undergraduate students at Stanford University. We welcome any member of the Stanford Community who has knowledge of science and an interest in teaching to join us and make a difference in the lives of promising young students.
School of Engineering Student Organizations
Stanford's School of Engineering students are involved in the student chapters of many professional societies.....from the American indian Science and Engineering Society to Women in Electrical Engineering. Many have projects that need volunteers. For a complete listing, visit http://soe.stanford.edu/current_students/activities_student_orgs.html.
The School of Engineering also provides grants to student associations for projects or activities that benefit the engineering community. This program derives its funds from a portion of the profits of Ciao Cafe, the cafeteria located in the basement of Terman Engineering Building.
Groups and individuals from the undergraduate and graduate communities are invited to apply for support from the SoE/OSA Dean’s Office. The review committee evaluates proposals on a quarterly basis. More information at http://soe.stanford.edu/current_students/resources_funding.html.
49ers Academy Teaching Team
49ers Academy is a unique partnership - a public alternative school, supported by a private non-profit agency. The 49ers Academy serves 6th, 7th and 8th grade students who benefit from a small, nurturing and personalized environment. The population is primarily made up of low-income minority youth and it is safe to say that many of the kids served by the 49ers Academy exhibit high-risk behaviors. These children are often characterized as hard to reach and hard to teach. Next to the family, the Academy is the major source of development for these students. The 49ers Academy provides a caring community where the emphasis is on one-on-one relationships to promote academic success in children who have struggled in other school programs.
