Would you like to participate in Connections? We offer many opportunities for volunteering!

The Connections Computer Clubhouse is a great place to start with volunteering your services. The Clubhouse is located on Northeastern University's campus in 009 Dana Research Building and is home to 12 computer stations and a study lounge. The Clubhouse is for Boston-area school girls. They get the opportunity to come and play the latest computer games like Sim City, Supergoo, or play with a microscope which lets them check out almost anything and view it on the computer. The center also has Lego Mindstorms and robots where you can program your own robot to do what ever you imagine. It's at the Clubhouse where volunteers are most valuable! You can help the girls explore computer technology using software and computer equipment. This is a great opportunity for NEU undergraduate students and professionals. If you're interested in volunteering for the Connections Computer Clubhouse, please email connections@connections.coe.neu.edu.

Volunteer to speak, offer a site visit to your place of work, participate as a panelist or a science fair mentor, and much more! The success of the Connections Program depends on strong relationships with industry, alumni, and working professionals. There are many opportunities for you as a professional, alumni, or friend to make a contribution to Boston-area students interested in science, technology, engineering, and math.
