    First Tech Credit Union Volunteers at Saturday Academy

    As the Outreach & Volunteer Coordinator for Saturday Academy, I am tasked with cultivating partnerships and creating community relationships. When I started my position seven months ago, I’ll be honest, I wasn’t quite sure what those partnerships would look like and how they would function. But that’s the beauty Saturday Academy and our community engagement-not one partnership looks like the other. Each relationship built with another organization has its own unique give and take.

    Instructor Spotlight: Carolyne Haycraft

    One of my favorite aspects of my job at Saturday Academy is that I get to meet with our amazing instructors to find out more about their passions and hear their stories. Saturday Academy’s focus on bringing community experts in as instructors to share their expertise with curious students in a hands-on, exploratory environment means that kids have the opportunity to experience a variety of disciplines with adults that are enthusiastic about what they do. Carolyne Haycraft is one such instructor.

    ASE Alumni Spotlight: Kate LeBlanc

    Kate LeBlanc absolutely loves the brain; it astounds, mystifies and challenges her. She discovered this fascination during the summer of 2015 while interning with Saturday Academy’s Apprenticeships in Science & Engineering (ASE) Program. For eight weeks, Kate worked full-time at the Portland VA Medical Center under the direction of three mentors. Kate was a bit overwhelmed at first, working in a lab 40 hours a week with esteemed researchers and accomplished graduate students.
