Statewide Day of Service Activities

Purpose: Provide education and career information to students (not currently served by STEP and CSTEP) in grades 4-12 regarding science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and health fields and the licensed professions.

Who is involved: Every funded STEP and CSTEP project participates in DOS activities. Over one hundred projects deliver a consistent message statewide promoting access for historically underrepresented and economically disadvantaged students to Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) and health fields and the licensed professions.

How we do it:

• Each STEP and CSTEP project recruits volunteers to assist in their planned activities including current students, alumni, project staff, instructors, tutors, and mentors.
  
  
• Activities are usually classroom-based to ensure that the greatest numbers of students are exposed to the fields of study promoted by STEP and CSTEP. In addition, STEP and CSTEP projects may sponsor activities that take place outside of the school setting.
  
  
• Presentations are custom-tailored by the STEP and CSTEP project representatives, and include a standardized message and conclude with a referral to the STEP and CSTEP website - www.stepforleaders.org and other helpful resources for students to become informed on STEM and licensed professions.
  
  
• All activities occur between the Fall and Spring semester.
