UBC Geering Up

Hey, high schoolers!

Are you looking for volunteering experience and a look into student life at UBC? If so, we want you!

There's 1 week left to apply for our Junior Instructor (JI) program. Successful high school students going into Grade 10 or higher (undergrad university students also!) will gain volunteering experience, get a sneak peak into UBC and other sites around Greater Vancouver, and build connections with peers and university mentors through Geering Up.

Apply by 23:59 (Pacific Time) on Sunday, August 16th via our link in b10.

We're honoured to have a community of people who believe in the work we do to lower barriers to STEM education and upskill our future workforce.

The Canada Summer Jobs (CSJ) program supports a core Geering Up pillar of empowering highly skilled, well-rounded, and experienced young people so they can confidently step into the world. Thank you to MP Wade Grant for stopping by to chat with our CSJ recipients and team to see the on-the-ground impact that this funding generates.

Heads up, teachers! Summer is almost here, so if you're planning on catching up on Pro-D sessions, you're in luck! We still have a few spots available for our STEM-based workshops (no prior STEM specialization needed...all teachers are welcome!).

Check out the 4 STEM-based Pro-D sessions we're holding in July and August and sign up via our link in b1o.

(Kelowna teachers: DM us to get in touch for autumn/winter Teacher Pro-D.)
