Benefits to Volunteering
- Teaching experience. Gain experience speaking about your research and scientific concepts. Learn to present your research in lay terms.
- Boost your resume. National scholarship boards
(e.g. NSERC) are familiar with the work of Let's Talk Science and strongly favor candidates with community
teaching and volunteering experience.

Have fun! Our volunteers often travel in groups to
areas all over New Brunswick, working as a team and getting to know
each other and the youth they work with. Our road trips are a blast
and are all expenses paid! Here is what one volunteer had to say: "I
did an AI [Access Initiative] trip to an elementary school, talking
about food webs and it was a blast. Seeing the faces of the students
light up when we showed them the mounted birds of prey was incredible.
The only thing better was their faces when they came up to actually
touch them!" Alex Bond, 2006.
