Join the Science Zone AmeriCorps Team

Do you have a heart for service? Do you want to kick-start your career? Do you want to build your employment skills? Are you retired and have a desire to serve? 

The Science Zone is proud to continue our relationship with ServeWyoming as an AmeriCorps grantee.  We have several opportunities for those who have a desire for service and would like to enhance the opportunities for STEM education in Casper.  ServeWyoming is the source of funding for our AmeriCorps program. 

AmeriCorps is a federal agency that brings individuals and communities together through service and volunteering to tackle the nation’s most pressing challenges. AmeriCorps provides opportunities for people of all ages and backgrounds to give their time and talent to strengthen communities across our country. Being part of the AmeriCorps team at The Science Zone will bring the satisfaction of supporting an organization built on providing a service to our community and will provide many lifelong benefits.

We are currently recruiting AmeriCorps members to serve in our education program during the summer of 2023.   AmeriCorps members will help provide educational programming for summer camps.  Members that are able to leave town may participate in weeklong outdoor adventure camps in different locations around Wyoming or travel to locations around the state to deliver other summer programming.  Members that need to stay closer to home will help with our more traditional summer camps.  There are flexible scheduling options along with training, a monthly living stipend, and an education award upon completion.  

Summer commitments are either 300 hours or 450 hours and will take place between May 22 and Aug. 12. 

In addition to stipends and education awards, becoming part of the AmeriCorps community brings lifelong connections and benefits.

AmeriCorps State and National Members will impact the lives of children by providing STEM-related direct education and educational support services at the Science Zone or at our partner host sites.
