Careers in Science is a multi-year, year-round paid internship and youth development program for San Francisco youth who come from communities typically underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields.
Are you a teen who is interested in inspiring others to explore the natural world? Volunteer with us and help Academy guests of all ages learn, tinker, and investigate, while gaining skills in public speaking and informal science engagement.
The California Academy of Sciences offers a wide range of volunteer opportunities to match nearly any interest.
The Academy's first-ever summer camp is now enrolling kids ages 9–11 for weeklong sessions between July 14–August 8! Each week features a different future-focused theme with activities that are hands-on, experiential, and play-based.
Sign up for our Youth Programs mailing list to stay informed about all teen opportunities, including when program applications open.
