How to Help: Be a Volunteer

Thank you for your inter­est in vol­un­teer­ing! The Los Ange­les Coun­ty Sci­ence and Engi­neer­ing Fair is an all-vol­un­teer orga­ni­za­tion and we appre­ci­ate your desire to help make this event possible.

Schools are required to pro­vide adult vol­un­teers based on the num­ber of projects they are send­ing to the Fair:

  • 1 to 6 projects = 1 volunteer
  • 7 to 13 projects = 2 volunteers

A vol­un­teer must work a 2.5 hour shift. A sin­gle per­son may sign up for addi­tion­al shifts. (If an indi­vid­ual signs up for 2 shifts, that counts as 2 vol­un­teers) If a school pro­vides a judge, that counts as 2 vol­un­teers. Please noti­fy the Vol­un­teer Coor­di­na­tor if a judge is provided.

To sign up as a vol­un­teer, please fol­low these steps (reg­is­tra­tion is open now!):

  1. Vis­it our online reg­is­tra­tion site (app.lascifair.org) and click on “reg­is­ter a new account”. You will then enter your information.*
  1. When you have fin­ished enter­ing your infor­ma­tion, the sys­tem will email you a pass­word with­in 72 hours.
  1. When you receive your pass­word, use it to log back into our sys­tem (app.lascifair.org) and select your vol­un­teer job(s), date(s), and time(s).

*If you are already in our sys­tem as a Site Coor­di­na­tor or Judge, you will need to use a dif­fer­ent email address when you sign up to be a Volunteer.

You will receive a con­fir­ma­tion of your assign­ment as well as final infor­ma­tion via email a week before the Fair.

Please do not hes­i­tate to con­tact Meena Chokkalingam, Vol­un­teer Coor­di­na­tor at mail2meena@yahoo.com if you have any ques­tions. We look for­ward to your par­tic­i­pa­tion in the 74th Annu­al Los Ange­les Coun­ty Sci­ence & Engi­neer­ing Fair!
