Calling all science enthusiasts! The World Science Festival is back!
The annual live, week-long New York Festival, which launched in 2008, has collectively drawn more than a million and a half visitors, with millions more viewing the programs online.
Volunteers are the heart and soul of the World Science Festival, serving as our ambassadors to the public and participants alike. They are a welcoming face to visitors, chock-full of information about the Festival and its programs. Volunteers also support the many production teams that make so many compelling programs and experiences possible.

· Feel comfortable working with people of all backgrounds, ages, and levels of familiarity with science.
· Possess excellent communication skills.
· Have a background in science, or a passion for learning and sharing knowledge.
· Be dedicated, committed, reliable, flexible and professional.
· Be at least 16 years old.
The 2017 World Science Festival runs from May 30 - June 4, 2017. You can volunteer for one day or for all of them! We also need volunteer help for the two weeks leading up to the Festival.
What’s Involved?
· A quick & easy application process
· A mandatory volunteer orientation on May 23, 2017
· A post-event wrap party

Mission Statement
The goal of the World Science Festival is to help shift the public's perception of science so that more and more people see science as wondrous, exciting, accessible, and even inspirational.
Description
The World Science Festival will allow science enthusiasts to engage many topics in modern science, while also encouraging those who may be on the periphery of science - artists, students, children, families, policy-makers, and educators - to think about the many ways scientific inquiry impacts their lives. The Festival brings together Nobel Laureates, researchers, technologists, educators, policy-makers, with creative artists, filmmakers, and performers. Together through lectures, panels, debates, film, music, theater, and interactive events, the Festival will showcase cutting edge ideas and reveal science's pivotal role in addressing critical global issues. Participants will guide the audience to experience science as never before.
