“Volunteering with EIS has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career. From leading fish collection tours and giving career talks to supporting the Girls Take Flight program, I have seen firsthand the incredible impact EIS has on students. Their mission of inspiring and empowering the next generation is something I deeply believe in, and I am grateful to contribute in any way I can.” – Fernando

“EIS was my first exposure to STEM as a child. It was an opportunity to learn topics not offered in public school such as engineering, geology, and photography. ​I was among ​peers from similar backgrounds, which made me feel comfortable exploring my interest without judgement or feeling like I didn’t belong. Currently, as a chief resident for my department, I am not only a physician but also a medical educator.” – Adali

“When we give kids opportunities to explore science, we don’t just fuel their imagination – we help shape the innovators and problem-solvers of tomorrow. Science has always been a passion of mine, and I’m proud to support EIS in their successful efforts to cultivate that passion in future generations.”- John
