We are delighted to announce that following a competitive application process, 24 young people from 7 countries have been appointed to the Volunteer Team of our flagship project, Youth STEM Matters!

“We had a really high standard of applicants and had to make some tough decisions. I’m delighted to have been able to offer our successful candidates the opportunity to join our team, and look forward to working with them all!”
— Adam Khan-Qureshi, Youth STEM Matters Co-Founder & Editor-In-Chief
“We’ve put in a lot of behind the scenes work over the past 4 or 5 months, so I’m really pleased to have now been able to open up this opportunity to the first group of young people. We know youth can use STEM to make a difference, so I’m looking forward to seeing our volunteers rise to the challenge in the coming months!”
— Mhairi McCann, Youth STEM 2030 Founder & CEO
