Employers engaging in the STEM Ambassador programme
STEM Ambassadors help employers connect with young people, inspiring them to become the next generation of STEM professionals. Through outreach programmes in schools, colleges and out-of-school groups, your support can help grow the UK’s workforce with talented and passionate individuals. Our network of 33,000 STEM Ambassadors, from 7,000 employers, volunteer over 640,000 hours a year to make this happen.
The STEM Ambassador programme is designed flexibly, offering you to set a level of involvement which meets your needs, and the opportunity for your employees to volunteer in a variety of ways.
Whether you are just starting your outreach journey or already delivering activities in schools and the community, why not join us? We can make a bigger difference together.

How it works
The STEM Ambassador programme is designed flexibly to suit the needs of all organisations, large or small. Set the level of engagement that’s right for you, and alter that to meet your needs as they change.
STEM Ambassadors manage their volunteering via an online platform connected to the STEM Learning website or through the STEM Ambassador app. This allows them to easily find relevant, local opportunities and quickly make arrangements with teachers or community group leaders. Volunteering activity is completely flexible and currently delivered remotely owing to COVID-19.
Ambassadors log all their activities on their STEM Ambassador profile and are recognised for their volunteering through our STEM Certificates and STEM Inspiration Awards.
