Interested in inspiring young people in the STEM subjects? Join a national network of 32,000 STEM Ambassadors in the UK and 5,000 in Scotland!
STEM Ambassadors volunteer to inspire the next generation and help young people to develop the skills, confidence and mindset to build successful futures in STEM. You can volunteer as a STEM Ambassador to give career talks, run STEM clubs, provide advice on STEM subjects, run STEM workshops, help young people with STEM competitions - anything really which will ignite their imagination.
STEM Ambassadors can find their own opportunities to volunteer or can search the STEM Ambassador digital platform for both face to face and online requests placed by teachers and community groups. The platform will connect you with the teacher/community group making the request and you can message to arrange the activity. All of your volunteering can be recorded on the platform to build a detailed summary of what you have been involved with.
All STEM Ambassadors undergo a PVG Disclosure check and undertake online induction training before being authorised to work with young people. The programme is funded through the UK Government, with SSERC being the local Scottish delivery partner. SSERC will provide you with regular updates, training sessions and networking opportunities to keep your knowledge up to date and relevant for working in schools and community groups.

Home-based volunteering, Suitable for groups
Have you got skills you could use to help raise money in your local community? Then a Fundraiser volunteer role might be perfect for you!
All across the country Guide Dogs work tirelessly to ensure that the service user comes first and we are enabled to do that through the hard work and dedication of our Fundraising groups spread across the UK.
In 2023 a fundraiser doesn't have to be jingling a bucket outside of a local supermarket but instead be raising money for the cause they believe in, from their very own home. During COVID we uncovered many new ways to fundraise and it allowed our volunteers to unlock lost/new talents and it is a mindset we have kept going!
