Volunteer for the Elementary Outreach Program | |
The Elementary Outreach Program provides the opportunity for elementary
school students to receive supplemental science training through hands-on
experiences. The program is supported by the NCI at Frederick and its'
system of support contractors who have entered into a formal partnership
agreement with the Frederick County Public School System. We encourage
our volunteers to take the program to schools in their neighborhoods
if
they live outside of Frederick County. If you would like to volunteer
or just want to know more about the program, please sign up using the volunteer form on the EOP site or
send an email to eop@ncifcrf.gov. To find out more about the program, please visit http://web.ncifcrf.gov/campus/outreach/eop/. |
