Science en Acción (SeA) is a spring break camp (April 5-8, 2023) for English learning/Spanish-English bilingual students who are interested in learning more about STEM and career opportunities at Berkeley Lab. Activities include tours of Berkeley Lab facilities, career talks with scientists, and workshops both at Berkeley Lab and UC Berkeley. These events will be in English and Spanish.
We are seeking volunteers to be part of the Welcoming Committee for SeA. Volunteers will meet and greet students at the Downtown Berkeley BART station and guide them to Lab shuttles (Thursday, Friday) or to UC Berkeley (Saturday). For Thursday and Friday, volunteers will also participate in ice-breakers with students. For Saturday afternoon, volunteers will guide families at the closing ceremony venue located at UC Berkeley.
Breakfast is provided for morning shifts. There are multiple shifts listed - volunteers can sign up for any or all of these. Spanish proficiency is required.
Volunteers will be asked to attend an 1 hour info session before the camp starts. All volunteers participating in K-12 programs must complete an online working with minors course (~90 minutes), sign and submit a CANRA form, and pass a background check.
For any questions please contact Special Programs and Volunteer Training Coordinator, Elina Rios (erios@lbl.gov)
