Volunteer Opportunity: Outreach Support Volunteer

Organisation and volunteering outline
WISE is a not for profit, community interest company whose purpose is gender balance in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM); throughout education, work and business in the UK. WISE’s vision is:

• To be the partner of choice for organisations, businesses and educational establishments who want to make real, sustainable improvement to gender balance in STEM. We understand the issues and have practical programmes and tools which make a national, sustainable impact at all stages from education through entry level jobs up to the boardroom.
• To create an environment where there is opportunity, encouragement and support for women and girls from different backgrounds, communities and regions to find their first and their next steps in STEM, relevant to their circumstances, their talents and their interests.

To meet WISE’s commitment to engage more girls to consider studies and careers in STEM – and reach 200,000 girls in the next 4 years; WISE has created an interactive resource called My Skills My Life to help girls find rewarding careers in STEM. My Skills My Life is also online training platform, which teaches ambassadors how to take the My Skills My Life programme into schools and community groups.
