STIMULUS

STIMULUS is a community service programme which gives Cambridge University students the opportunity to work with pupils in local schools, helping with Maths, Science, Computing or Technology lessons. STIMULUS students work as volunteer Teaching Assistants in the classroom, alongside the class teacher.

Please note that we are not arranging STIMULUS school placements this term (Autumn/Michaelmas 2024).

"Volunteering is about much more than simply getting something to put on your CV – it’s about making a real difference and giving something important back."
