Volunteer
WE LOVE VOLUNTEERS!
Volunteers are managed in shifts--either 7:30am-1pm or 12pm-5:30pm (or both, if you like). Volunteers will be trained at the event (no previous experience or expertise required!!) Some jobs are for adults only, but MANY can be done by kids as young as 10.
VOLUNTEERING IS A GREAT WAY TO GET SERVICE HOURS (for Bright Futures, Scholarship applications, etc or simply to do a nice thing for others). Volunteering at an IQ event is fun!
For now, simply email your name, age, preferred shift and cellphone number to [email protected]. Please put "Volunteer Jan 26" in the subject line!!
