As an Associate Lab Manager, you, along with your Lab Manager, are expected to lead the STEM Scout meetings each week. Below you will find the items that represent this role:
- Assist the Lab Manager with each experiment/ activity. Depending on the leading style of the Lab Manager, you may find that this job may be very much equal to the Lab Manager role and share responsibilities equally, or it could be that you are there to help make sure Scouts are paying attention and following instructions
- Must be 21 years of age or older (or 18+ and paired with someone 21+)
- Be at each meeting- if you are unable to meet, then you are responsible in finding your replacement for the week. You may want to go through your Scouts parents as possible volunteers first. Lab meetings occur on the same day/time of each week. Lab programs are 22 weeks total.
- Must be current on your Youth Protection Training (YPT) - If you are unable to make it to the meeting that week, at least one adult present needs to be current with their YPT.
- Within the activity, walk around to each small group and make sure they understand what to do as well as making sure that each Scout’s opinion/ suggestion is being heard.
- Help Lab Manager get each Scout to the appropriate parent pick-up spot after meeting has ended. Make sure ALL Scouts have been picked before you and Lab Manager may leave. If there is an after-school care that can take the Scouts, with parental consent, you may drop them off there before leaving.
- Make sure Lab area is clean (“cleaner than you found it”) before leaving.
