Outreach
SWE San Diego promotes awareness of engineering to local students through our K-12 Outreach Programs. Our volunteers interact with young women to give them better idea of what engineers are like while allowing students to experience first-hand what engineering is really about. Become a role model and inspire the next generation of engineers by volunteering for one of our K-12 Outreach programs!
Email: outreach.swesandiego@gmail.com
In addition to these committees, you can help out throughout the year with opportunities such as Scholarship and Section Award judging.
The SWE-SD newsletter and social media is a great way to find out about seasonal committees or volunteer opportunities throughout the year which require less commitment.
