A SPIN Girls Mentor provides a link between Mentee girls and professional role models in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math through a variety of direct experiences and opportunities. Mentors share their stories and career path in STEM fields with 8th-10th grade girls of color. Girls will be equipped to make choices about what they want and don’t want as they envision their futures and develop an understanding of the path toward achieving a STEM career of interest.

Your role as a mentor can have a significant impact on our girls of color in a variety of personal, academic, and professional situations. You can serve as a connection for a young person to personal growth and development as well as social and economic opportunity. And when we make this investment in young women, the ripples of those investments are seen for generations.

At Capital One/ Junior Achievement Finance Park each student becomes “an adult for the day” in an electronic simulation. The students are assigned a life scenario so they can experience firsthand the real-life challenges of making personal budgeting decisions. After calculating their net monthly income and savings goals, students visit kiosks that represent different budget categories such housing, health insurance, groceries, and utilities. Anyone with real world monthly budgeting experience can become a volunteer. JA Finance Park Volunteers play a key role by helping the students understand the concepts of personal financial planning and career exploration. Volunteers provide guidance and assistance while monitoring and verifying students’ work.

FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) is a program for Grades 9-12.
The FIRST Robotics Competition gives high school students and their adult mentors the opportunity to work and create together to solve a common problem. Under strict rules, limited resources, and an intense six-week time limit, teams of students are challenged to raise funds, design a team "brand," hone teamwork skills, and build and program industrial-size robots to play a difficult field game against like-minded competitors. It’s as close to real-world engineering as a student can get.

At the FIRST Robotics Competition Events, teams show off what they learned and invented, and compete with their robots! They celebrate their hard work and meet other teams while competing for a spot at the FIRST Robotics Competition Ontario Provincial Championships! It’s a fun way to cap off their season!

As a judge, you will work in small groups to select team award recipients through interaction with teams, review documentation regarding team background information to familiarize judges with teams, and serve as role models for the students.

Time Commitment:
- March 15 - Judge’s training dinner – night before the first day of the event at the venue.
- March 16 and March 17 : 7:30 am - 6:00 pm
- Pre-event training – reading materials supplied by Judge Advisor approximately 2 weeks before event
- Due to the nature of the judging process, this two-day time commitment is essential. The Judge Panel starting time on both competition days is usually finalized at the evening dinner. Most Judge Advisors ask their Judge Panels to be on site and in the room by 7:30 a.m. on both days of the competition and stay until the end of the competition (anytime between 5-7pm)


Skills and Experience:
- FIRST experience not required
- Minimum suggested age: 23 (not be a student, including grad students) (FRC Only)
- Maximum of 4 Judges from one company per event
- Judges cannot judge at an event where their child is competing
- Judges must be separated from their team in an active role ( 3 hours or less per week)
for 3 years AND cannot judge an event where their team is competing even if they are a non active mentor.
- Additional details for FIRST Robotics Competition here and for FIRST LEGO League here.

Volunteering with Action Tutoring is an easy and rewarding way to make a difference to the lives of young people facing disadvantage. By volunteering as a tutor for just one hour a week, you can change the life of a child or young person, helping them open doors to their future. You'll have fun too!

As a volunteer, you can choose what subject (English or maths) you tutor, what day/time you volunteer, the subject and age-range right for you. You can choose to volunteer in person (at one of our local partner schools) or online (through our virtual classroom). With sessions taking place at the same time each week, across the course of 10-20 weeks, you'll support the same two-three pupils to build their maths and English subject knowledge, confidence, study skills and growth mindset, increasing their chance of success in maths and English SATs and GCSE exams. At Action Tutoring we provide all the training and resources needed to tutor, plus cover the cost of an enhanced DBS check for you.

What are we looking for and what's our volunteer criteria?

We look for volunteers who can spare just 1 hour per week across the course of a programme (10-20 weeks). Previous tutoring experience, or experience working with young people, is not necessary, but we do look for volunteers with the passion and patience to tutor!

We look for volunteers who have achieved at least a 'B' at A-Level (or equivalent) in their chosen subject (or similar subject) or have/are working towards a degree. If you don't neatly fit into our qualifications criteria, but have significant experience using maths or English in your work, we'd still love to welcome an application from you.

Benefits

Through tutoring with us our volunteers are able to develop a wealth of transferable skills that employers love (interpersonal, organisational, communication) and whilst making a significant difference. We work with students from universities and corporations across the UK. Help your community. Apply today: www.actiontutoring.org.uk

We're partnered with schools across East and West Midlands, North West, London, Newcastle and County Durham, Sheffield, Bristol and Sussex. If you'd like to tutor in-person, you'll need to be based in one of these areas. However, if you'd prefer online volunteering, you can volunteer from anywhere in England, Scotland and Wales.
