need you to volunteer your time at their Science Fair!

EISEF exists for the benefit of the students.  It happens each year thanks to the efforts of hundreds of unpaid volunteers.  You can be one of them.

What does it take?  Just a willingness to help.  You don't need a science background.  As you can see below, we have lots of different jobs you can do.

Are you interested in helping?  Then let us know by visiting our Volunteer Signup page and filling out the form.

Are you wondering where you should go on Fair Day, and when?  Visit the When & Where page for answers to these questions.
