Paid opportunity for Indigenous students STEM

Study Hall is a peer-led and community-based educational program that incentivizes the learning of Environmental Justice in Technology among undergraduate STEM students. The program has completed 1 year and we had much success with the student facilitators and student participants alike.

See report here.

We are currently looking for a cohort of indigenous STEM students to be part of the program to run workshops and build a community around the topic of Environmental Justice in Technology. This cohort can be composed of undergraduate students from the same or different schools in Tiohtià:ke/Montreal.

This year all student facilitators (those that lead the events) will work in groups of 3 to 5 and are required to have a professor as a supporting mentor. All selected students will receive The program will happen from August to late November 2026 and it provides a personal stipend of 950USD to each selected student facilitator and a snack budget of 500USD for the cohort to run in-person events.

The common language in the program will be English to facilitate cooperation and discussion between the students from the different countries that participate in the program but each cohort is incentivized to run the workshops and the activities in the preferred language of their audience of interest. For example, students in Mexico communicate and run their workshop activities in Spanish with their participants but they use English to communicate with our organization and other student facilitators in the Study Hall Program.
