Volunteering

Are you a student or a scientist at Yale interested in inspiring the next generation of scientists?  Volunteer for Yale Girls’ Science Investigations (GSI) to teach physics principles to local middle schoolers!

Based out of the Department of Physics, the mission of Girls’ Science Investigations (GSI) is to motivate, empower, and interest girls in developing the skills they need to pursue careers in science. GSI will have two themed events in the 2023-2024 academic year. The first session - The World of Light - will be held Saturday, November 4th, and we need you! In this session, middle schoolers will learn all about particles and light, participate in hands-on activities, and watch a demo show.

Volunteers will help students with two of the four hands-on demonstrations or experiments. Breakfast and lunch are included. See more information below:
