MSEF Volunteer Opportunities

Thank you for your interest in serving as volunteer for students in the Science & Engineering Fair Program.

MSEF is recruiting volunteers to support students through the science fair program year across several different programs and opportunities.

Volunteers provide guidance and encouragement as they work on independent STEM research projects individually or in small teams. Students need encouragement in defining their research projects, gathering data, processing that data, and communicating their findings. Mentors do not need to be familiar with science fair structure.

Please fill out the information below so we can follow-up on opportunities and pair you with a student or classroom for the School Year.
