<FONT SIZE=5 FACE="Aptos">Volunteers will have an interview with Ohio STEM2U coordinators. If over 18, the volunteer will need to take the NFB background check (unless they have taken one since May 23, 2023). Background check fees will be covered by NFB. If under 18, a parent/guardian needs to sign a form allowing the minor to volunteer.<BR>
<BR>
We will provide training beforehand via Zoom and during the setup time from 8-10 am.<BR>
<BR>
We are seeking volunteers who have high expectations of blind students and a positive philosophy on blindness. Experience in STEM is not required.<BR>
