Review for BioBus, New York, NY, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

The BioBus is run by a small group of inspiring individuals who have helped bring science to underprivileged students in the areas around New York City. They are particularly dedicated to their work, even though they do not get paid significantly for it. I began volunteering for them this past summer and was astonished at the amount they had already accomplished with a small team. My only criticism is that they could use more hands to help and that there isn't yet a second BioBus. Most importantly, the organization is making important scientific issues (such as climate change) accessible to young students and ultimately raising genuine interest in science for the next generation. In my short time volunteering, they have made me feel very welcome and have a contagious amount of enthusiasm.
