Volunteer with Bridges-Strong

Become a Volunteer

At Bridges-Strong we are dedicated to empowering individuals from all backgrounds through accessible education in engineering and science. Our mission focuses on adults with limited educational opportunities, particularly in rural areas of the USA and Latin America, by offering programs in English and Spanish that inspire creativity and innovation. We share stories of everyday inventors to show that great ideas can come from anyone willing to dream, collaborate, and persist—proving that innovation isn't reserved for the elite.

We believe in building strong communities where everyone has a fair shot at problem-solving and creating local solutions. To expand our impact, we're seeking passionate volunteers like educators, students, and engineers to join our efforts. Your skills and enthusiasm can help us deliver inspiring programs, mentor participants, and foster a world where science and engineering education is a tool for empowerment.

Why Volunteer with Us?

  • Make a Difference: Contribute to programs that open doors for underserved adults, helping them gain practical skills in engineering and science.

  • Flexible Opportunities: Whether you're an educator designing workshops, a student assisting with outreach, or an engineer leading hands-on projects, we have roles that fit your schedule and expertise.

  • Global Reach: Support initiatives in rural USA and Latin America, with bilingual options to broaden accessibility.

  • Community Building: Be part of a network inspired by real stories of creation and invention, encouraging teamwork and self-belief.

Volunteer Roles We're Seeking:

  • Educators: Develop and lead online or in-person sessions on basic engineering concepts, science experiments, or invention storytelling. Ideal for teachers or trainers with experience in adult education.

  • Students: Help with program support, such as creating educational materials, translating content (English/Spanish), or organizing virtual events. Great for current students in STEM fields looking to gain experience.

  • Engineers: Provide technical guidance on projects, mentor participants in problem-solving, or share your own invention stories to inspire others. Open to professionals or retirees with engineering backgrounds.
