If you are volunteering with a student organization, research group or other organization that has someone coordinating your volunteering & activity listed on our partners page, you DO NOT need to register here UNLESS you want to help with set-up or clean-up or activities outside your other volunteer responsibilities. 

Please use this registration to volunteer for STEM Girl Day if you are NOT affiliated with an organization that is leading a presentation, activity, or demo. This form is for general volunteers to help with set-up, clean-up, info tents, activities, photography, etc.
