Share your love of chemistry. Volunteer to teach.

Chemistry professors, teaching assistants, graduate students, and advanced undergraduates — you can change a student's life with one hour a week.

The commitment

  • 1 hour per week — one lecture from our Level 1 or Level 2 curriculum.
  • 15–30 minutes prep — review the lecture script and demos.
  • No grading, no tests, no homework — just teaching.
  • Flexible scheduling — choose your availability and time zone.
  • All materials provided — scripts, slides, household demos, and safety guidelines.
  • Background check + onboarding — we vet and brief every volunteer.
