STARBASE Fort Harrison has a couple of areas where we utilize community volunteers:

STARBASE Advanced STEM Coaches

Are you interested in being a mentor and STEM coach for middle school students who are in an after-school program?  Are you employed within a STEM field? 

STARBASE Advanced STEM Coaches volunteer about 20 hours of time over the course of 10 weeks and make a huge impact on continuing to nurture the curious nature of students interested in STEM.

You can apply to be a STEM Coach volunteer by clicking here

Contact the STARBASE Advanced Coordinator, Kinsey Vavruska, to find out more information.  Her email address is kvavruska@helenaschools.org 

STARBASE STEM Career Speakers  

Are you interested in giving a career talk to a STARBASE class?  Are you employed within a STEM field?

STARBASE STEM career speakers volunteer about 2 hours of time to visit the STARBASE classroom.  We have spots every week that we try and fill with speakers to supplement the STARBASE students educational experience by exposing them to real-life professionals who work in the STEM fields. 

Contact the STARBASE Fort Harrison Director, Michael Vannatta, to find out more information.  His email address is mvannatta@mt.gov
