Join the movement. Become a WAAW Foundation STEM Chapter Leader or member today!

The WAAW Foundation Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) outreach program was launched in 2013. This program aims to train and equip the WAAW Foundation Scholars or college volunteers to launch and organize STEM outreach chapters within their Universities. The STEM chapter leaders recruit other STEM fellows and organize outreach and mentoring programs to 3-5 neighboring public Secondary schools in their communities to promote STEM education and learning amongst secondary students especially girls.

Are you a university student in Africa who:

  • Thrives in STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics)?
  • Has a passion for inspiring and mentoring younger students?
  • Wants to develop strong leadership and communication skills (especially if you’re interested in leading a chapter)?

The WAAW Foundation College to Secondary STEM Outreach program empowers university students to make a real difference.
