Volunteer Opportunities
Serving as an Ambassador for KAWSE is a great way to add volunteering experience to your resume! KAWSE Ambassadors can serve in a variety of roles for our office, from representing us at K-State events, to community outreach events, like local science fairs or open houses. One of the most popular Ambassador opportunities is hosting high school students during EXCITE Shadow Days events.
Fall 2020 Dates Available NOW!
Inspire high school students who are considering STEM majors and careers! We’re looking for volunteer panelists to help students get a better sense of what it means to be a STEM major at K-State. During this online panel discussion, you will help students understand what a typical day looks like for you, what you like about K-State, and more! There are two different opportunities to participate: October 20 and November 10.
We will be selecting panelists based upon the areas of interest high school participants. This opportunity is open to on-campus and online students. To indicate your interest and availability, please complete our Qualtrics survey: https://kstate.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bKEO5zsns3cziN7.

KAWSE Ambassadors Student Organization
The KAWSE Ambassadors student organization focuses supporting girls' interest in STEM through visits to local middle/high schools. During these school visits, you will have the opportunity to talk with a group of students about your experience as a woman majoring in a STEM field at K-State. You also will be able to discuss the many career opportunities available to women in these majors, and advertise our GROW & EXCITE programs that can help students explore STEM fields. This is a great way to support young girls’ interest in science, technology, engineering, and math!
The main goals of the KAWSE Ambassadors are to:
- Focus on supporting and increasing girls' interest in STEM through visits to local middle and high schools within the state of Kansas.
- Create a network among college women in various STEM disciplines who can share experiences to help one another grow professionally and academically.
- Expand the network of women in STEM to include similarly focused organizations, such as AAUW and SWE, and collaborate with them for events.
- Provide members with professional development opportunities through public speaking and volunteering.
- Remain low commitment while providing high impact opportunities for all involved.
