Volunteer video guide

Sample video structure

  1. Hook: “Have you ever wondered why ___ happens?”
  2. Explain: Teach one idea in simple words.
  3. Show: Use a drawing, object, mini demo, or example.
  4. Try it: Give the learner one safe activity or question.
  5. Close: “You just practiced thinking like a scientist/engineer.”

Mini sample script

“Hi, I’m a Her Path volunteer. Today we’re learning about patterns. A pattern is something that repeats. Look at red-blue-red-blue. What comes next? Now try making your own pattern with colors, shapes, or sounds.”

Volunteer framework

Read. Create. Teach.

Her Path RCT is the volunteer model behind our learning videos and student-led lessons. Students read one meaningful idea, create something memorable, and teach it to a younger learner — building confidence for both the creator and the girl learning from them.

R

Read

Choose a short passage, STEM topic, article, book section, biography, or career story. Pull out the most important idea.

C

Create

Turn the idea into something memorable: a voiceover, avatar, drawing, demo, mini skit, slides, or short video.

T

Teach

Share the lesson through Her Path so younger girls can learn, respond, try something new, and feel like STEM is possible.

Guiding principleIf you can explain it in three minutes, you understand it. If you can teach it to someone younger, you are already leading.

By students, for students

Students are the creators. They choose a topic, build a short lesson, and teach it to someone younger. The process of explaining something builds their own understanding and confidence to lead.

Powered by community

Make it memorable

There is no single right format.

If it is clear, age-appropriate, and genuinely interesting, it belongs in the Her Path library.

Act it out

Turn a scientist, inventor, or idea into a short scene or mini story.

Creative lesson

Draw it live

Use a sketch, diagram, comic, or whiteboard to make the idea visual.

Visual teaching

Show the experiment

Demonstrate a simple safe activity, then explain what happened.

Hands-on STEM

Use rhythm or story

Make a phrase, song, or story that helps younger girls remember the concept.

Memorable learning

Read like a storyteller

Bring a STEM book or biography to life, then connect it to a question or activity.

HerPath Reads

End with one question

Close with a prompt that makes girls think, respond, or try something.
