Native Scientist
Ethnic minority and migrant pupils face multiple challenges when arriving to a new country and are two times more likely to underachieve in school than their non-migrant peers.Native Scientist is a non-profit organisation that connects migrant pupils with scientists to broaden pupils' horizons and promote scientific literacy and higher education. 

You will be organising workshops that bring together 4-5 scientists and 20-25 children who share a common heritage language/culture.

Time commitment

Coordinators usually spend 10-12 hours with the organisation of each workshop and 2 hours at the workshop.
What measures have you put in place to ensure volunteers’ safety during COVID-19?
To organise: we work from home.
At the school: we follow school indications and recommend:
- use of mask
- use of hand desinfectant
- rapid testing 3 days before and on the day of the workshop

This organisation is one of our community partner organisations.

Like all volunteer recruiters we work with, they have signed up to our service standards, agreeing to abide by our policy on partnership working.

In addition, the team here at Students’ Union UCL Volunteering Service is here to support you throughout your volunteering journey – you can get in touch at any time with any questions, queries or problems you encounter.
