    Led by female volunteers, the girls have the chance to be positively influenced by women who are already in science or studying to have a career in science, engineering, math or technology. Volunteering requires only 2 hours a week of
    your time for 10 weeks in the Spring.

    SCG is seeking women (and a few men) to serve as Science Club leaders and help show young girls that science, math and engineering can be fun. SCG provides anengaging curriculum, all materials, and snack for you to lead
    powerfully. SCG serves in four Cambridge public schools (all T accessible) and has clubs in Newton, Boston (T accessible), and Lawrence. The clubs begin the last week of February and end the first week of May.
