Your story could spark a future in STEM

We welcome experts in STEM and tech fields to join the Future Makers initiative as volunteer mentors and workshop facilitators. This is a collaboration between AspireHer and STEM Learning UK to expand our reach and ensure every volunteer is DBS-certified.

Volunteers must apply for an enhanced DBS check (facilitated through STEM Learning UK) and join AspireHer’s mentorship pool. Once approved, you’ll be assigned to deliver workshops as an AspireHer STEM Ambassador under our recognised scheme.

Whether you’re an engineer, coder, researcher, or innovator, your story could spark a future in STEM.
