About Young STEAMers

Young STEAMers is a San Francisco Bay Area nonprofit organization dedicated to inspiring children to explore science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM) and guiding them toward STEM careers. At Young STEAMers, we believe a child’s zip code should never limit their potential. We provide free, high-impact STEAM education to low-income Bay Area kids aged 4–14 and STEM career guidance for youth aged 14-24. Our hands-on programs blend academic content with creativity and real-world application to spark curiosity, build confidence, and expand opportunity. We engage local talent by training high school students as classroom aides and hiring college students as instructors, creating a full-circle model of community-led education. Together, we’re opening doors so that talent, not circumstance, shapes a child’s future in STEAM.

Position Overview

We are seeking a passionate and detail-oriented Volunteer Grant Writer to help secure funding that supports our STEAM education programs. The Grant Writer will research funding opportunities, draft proposals, and collaborate with the Young STEAMers team to align our projects with funder priorities. This role is ideal for someone who wants to contribute their writing and research skills to advance educational opportunities and inspire the next generation of innovators.

Responsibilities

  • Research and identify prospective foundation, corporate, and government grant opportunities
  • Draft compelling letters of inquiry, grant proposals, and reports
  • Collaborate with staff and board members to gather program data, budgets, and stories
  • Track application deadlines and submission requirements
  • Assist in building and maintaining a grants calendar and database
  • Contribute to developing a consistent, mission-aligned case for support

  • Nonprofit development experience (preferred but not required)
  • Strong written communication and research skills
  • Attention to detail, with the ability to meet deadlines
  • Ability to work independently while collaborating with a small team
  • Passion for education, youth, and STEAM learning

What We Offer

  • The opportunity to make a tangible impact on children’s futures
  • Experience in nonprofit fundraising and development
  • Flexible schedule and remote-friendly collaboration
  • A supportive, mission-driven team environment
