Your Time Matters.
It is said, the greatest gift you can give someone is your time. As a TAF volunteer, you have the ability to make real connections to our students and teachers.
With your help, we can get that much closer to educational equity, by providing the support needed to connect students with industry experiences and STEM skills. So, whether you’re looking for one-time or ongoing volunteer opportunities, know that your invested time is making Washington’s education a place where everyone wins.

Location: TAF@Saghalie, Federal Way, WA (virtual option available)
Date(s): Starting Fall 2019
We’re looking for mentors that are willing to guide our students along the path of gaining a fulfilling and meaningful career in STEM. Mentors would commit to meeting in person (or via teleconferencing) at least once a month and answering questions or concerns students may have via email at least once a week.
One-Time Opportunities
College Tour Connections
Do you have connections to a college or university that would allow TAF students to tour campuses in a unique and exciting way? If so, we need you! We’re always looking for opportunities to expose our students to higher education in a way that would allow them to picture themselves being part of the student community.
Ongoing Opportunities
Teacher Scientist Partnership - Teach Coding
Teach students how to code through TAF@Saghalie’s Teacher Scientist Partnership (TSP) Program. Students will develop a portfolio of skills including UX research, wireframing, and a variety of code languages. TSP teaches students to write software in the context of their existing middle and high school curriculum.

Though our students at TAF@Saghalie range from 6-12th grade, many seniors are at a pivotal moment in their educational careers and are seeking positive guidance that could impact the rest of their lives.

When I see one light up with curiosity, grab hold of an idea or concept, or find their own personal purpose in specific learning, I just want to feed a fire until that self-motivation keeps on going right by me.
