Thank you for your interest in volunteering with The Oxford Trust for our Science Oxford programme. Our volunteers come from a variety of backgrounds, but they have plenty in common too, including a willingness to give up their time to support an organisation they believe in, an interest in Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths (STEM) or conservation and an enthusiasm for sharing their interest with others. We want to make sure that your experience of volunteering with us is rewarding and enjoyable. We have a range of volunteering opportunities at Science Oxford that you can get involved in. Read below about our programmes and how you can help and then fill out our volunteer application form.
