Volunteers are the heart and soul of the World Science Festival, serving as our ambassadors and providing a welcoming face to visitors from all over the world. Every year, we rely on hundreds of volunteers who generously dedicate their time and energy to support the many production teams that make so many compelling programs possible.
Volunteering for the World Science Festival is truly a one-of-a-kind experience. As a volunteer, you’ll be immersed in xxplorative and engaging science activities, assisting staff on one or more of our events throughout New York City—from youth and family events to in-depth conversations and our show-stopping gala.
Volunteering at the World Science Festival isn’t just great for community service. It also comes with plenty of exciting benefits, like meeting an astronaut or exploring the human mind. But the real benefit is the opportunity to be part of a passionate community and to gain a unique perspective on the behind-the-scenes work required to put on such a massive production.
