Volunteers

The Greater San Diego Science and Engineering Fair is a non-profit corporation run 100% by volunteers. Volunteers organize, run and judge the Fair which has served the San Diego community since 1955. Thousands of young lives have benefited by participating in the science fair. Your help is needed to continue this great tradition of science excellence and self-discovery.

The Management Committee is always looking for volunteers to assist in many different activities. Anyone can assist us! You need not have a science background to donate your time and engery. A list of our committee responsibilities is available. Please contact Shirley Miranda, Director if you are interested in helping out.

Volunteers are also needed to judge the Fair. We require the support of the scientific and technologic communities in San Diego. Judges are continually impressed with the work of San Diego's youth. The innovation of the projects are a marvel. Volunteer to judge the Fair!

What you can do to help:

Email the Volunteer Coordinators to sign up with your name, phone number, and email address.
Check the messages for current volunteer needs.
Support your local school's science fair efforts and attend its exhibition.

Remember, the "science fair" does not just happen, magically, every spring. It needs everyone's (especially your) help.
