We are scientists and engineers who volunteer
to help students in STEM education in Santa Fe schools
Santa Fe is fortunate to have a large population of scientists and engineers for a community of its size. Until the founding of the Santa Fe Alliance for Science in 2005 this resource was not utilized by Santa Fe schools. Santa Fe Alliance for Science began finding, recruiting, and organizing scientists to volunteer in schools.

The need was great, schools were welcoming, and now some 100 professionals volunteer. They provide enrichment in classrooms, tutor and mentor interact one-on-one with thousands of students at science fairs, offer science workshops for teachers, and offer evening science talks for students and their families.

Help Us Support STEM

Our volunteers work free. But your funding provides science materials for schools and recognition for teachers and students for their successes. Donations to SFAFS are matched dollar-for-dollar by a local foundation.

Volunteer with Us

Join a community of a hundred other STEM professionals. We need science fair judges and tutors. Judges are busy from mid-November through early February. Tutors are needed throughout the school year.
