There are volunteer and career opportunities to fit with any schedule.
Classes and student organizations within The College of Natural Sciences host many volunteer events to support local schools. Events include discovery expeditions to The University of Texas at Austin, Science Olympics at local schools, after-school clubs and special STEM events. New volunteer opportunities are posted each semester on this page. These opportunities are flexible and designed to work with your availability.
Individuals and UT-affiliated organizations can sign up to volunteer with the UTeach Outreach program. You will be notified of all events and given the opportunity to sign up to volunteer based on your schedule. This flexibility allows you to determine your level of involvement. We have many science-focused field trips for students every month as well as hands-on learning events for the community.
