My Nonprofit Reviews

I have been a volunteer with this organization for several years. As a judge for the science fair, I have had an opportunity to see the amazing work students have accomplished and the use of their critical thinking skills. I have also seen first-hand that SARSEF goes beyond the fair providing teacher training, expanded STEM opportunities for students, and summer programs.

I have been a volunteer in several roles for SARSEF and feel I make a difference by contributing my time. The entire community benefits from the programs and instruction provided by this wonderful organization. The science fair programs reach students from preK through 12th grade and provide a foundation for a community of informed and critical thinkers that will be a valuable asset as we face future challenges. They provide teacher instruction and support and collaborate with a myriad of community organizations to make sure programs meet the needs of all students and teachers. And... it is so fun to volunteer because of the enthusiasm of staff and the students and teachers for these programs.

I have had the opportunity to volunteer as a judge for the science fair and STEM Adventure program the past three years. The projects submitted for the fair are amazing. Students ages PreK through high school show they have used critical thinking skills and science education to complete and present interesting and well thought out projects. Besides the science fairs the organization has outreach programs at all levels that help teachers improve their STEM teaching skills and students explore possible careers related to science. These programs are especially important in a state with a struggling education system. I encourage you to donate your time and money to this worthwhile organization.

Great programs to help students develop critical thinking skills.
