In the past few days, I have been in conversation with a few wonderful individuals that are volunteering their time and expertise to help SEM Link achieve our mission. What was so wonderful was these individual were not our typical volunteers, which are science, engineering and mathematics professionals. These individuals were graphic designers, web developers and a team of MBA's that are marketing experts. Although these professional don't have the expertise to provide direct assistance with our programs, these individuals are just as valuable in helping us achieving our mission.
As a non profit organization, we can't just worry about the programs, but we have to be concerned with the operations of our organization. It is these takes that allow us to be able to support our programs, which is the bread of butter of who we are as organizations. These graphic designer, web developer and the team of MBA's help us promote our programs to the community as well as to other individuals and corporations that will be willing to make a financial contribution to the organization or donate their time and expertise to the organization.
So I encourage you if you are a person that is interested in volunteering, think about the behind the scenes things you can do to help an organization achieve its mission.

About SEM Link
- SEM Link
- Science, Engineering and Mathematics Link, Inc. (SEM Link), a tax-exempt nonprofit organization, was founded in 2004 on the premise that exposure to members of the science, engineering and mathematics (SEM) communities is critical to student development in math and science. Our mission is to promote student achievement and career exploration in math and science while increasing student exposure to the science, engineering and mathematics communities and enhancing resources that are available at local schools and community organizations. Our two core programs, Math and Science Career Academy and Experimental Design Program, provide students with an opportunity to develop their math and science skills by enhancing the classroom learning experience and teaching them skills that are transferable to other areas of life. We recruit students and professionals for our programs that have backgrounds in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
