Adventures in Science Mentorship Recruitment Opportunity

TLDR: Adventures in Science is recruiting Junior Directors, Logistic Coordinators, and Mentors for the upcoming year! The application deadline has been extended to Sunday, October 14, 2025 at 11:59 PM. 

Adventures in Sciences (AIS) is a mentorship program affiliated with the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Medicine all about scientific communication and discovery, and we are excited to be entering the 13th year of our program. Each year, AIS recruits medical and graduate mentors to work with a group of over 200 high school students. 

As a mentor, you would be paired with another medical/graduate student to mentor a group of grade 11–12 students to work on a longitudinal science project (LSP) that will eventually be shared with a classroom of elementary school students around Toronto at the end of the academic year.

We are also recruiting for the AIS Junior Director positions (1 medical student & 1 graduate student)! This position is a 2-year term. In the first year (2025–2026), you will work closely with the Senior Directors to lead the program under their guidance. During the second year (2026–2027), Junior Directors graduate to Senior Directors and continue to lead the program with a year’s experience under their belt. For more information, please refer to this document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MhMua-twPFUVAY4R5hKlrU3zGjZXbovy/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=114038884894890340419&rtpof=true&sd=true

Finally, we are also recruiting for Logistics Coordinators(2 positions) who will be responsible for coordinating all the virtual aspects of the hybrid programming with the directors. 

AIS is a fabulous experience to work on your scientific communication, teamwork, and teaching skills, while getting to know fellow students in the field and inspiring the next generation.
