AFSA PreK-12 Volunteer Opportunities
Special Volunteer Opportunity - Science Fair Judge
Science Fair Judges needed! Be a part of this year's 24th Annual AFSA High School Science Fair! All students at AFSA must complete a science fair project and present their findings to a panel of judges. This year, we are holding two science fair nights, February 6 for grades 7-9 and February 20 for grades 10-12 and we need your help! For each night we need about 40 science fair judges.
Have a background in science, business, or liberal arts? All of these areas are helpful in judging all aspects of the students science fair projects. Sign up by clicking here!
