Educate local primary and secondary school children about science and sustainability and inspire the next generation of students!
Join us as a science and / or sustainability volunteer for Guild Schools!
The Guild Schools volunteering opportunity gives University of Liverpool Students the chance to deliver workshops on various topics in Primary or Secondary schools across Merseyside. The project has 3 strands: Science in Schools, Sustainability in Schools and Societies in Schools.
The Science and Sustainability strand allows students to deliver pre-determined one hour sessions to pupils as chosen by the school. For more information about the Societies in Schools strand, see here.
Sustainability topics include: Biodiversity, Energy and the Environment and Environmental careers.
Science topics cover Biology, Chemistry and Physics and include an experiment and activities for pupils to get involved with.
Guild Schools is a great opportunity for students and pupils to develop their skills and experience something new, plus it’s completely free for both the student volunteers and the schools themselves. All training, session materials and transport will be provided by the Guild.
All participants will need to register as a volunteer on this platform and MUST attend Safeguarding training in order to deliver a session in schools.
