Come and help WISEST deliver the SET (Science, Engineering, and Technology) Conference! This fun and interactive day shows young women and gender-diverse students in grades 10-12 that there is more to science than medicine, more to engineering than building bridges, and more to technology than sitting behind a computer screen. All volunteers are invited to join us at the SET Conference for a complimentary lunch!
When? Saturday, November 25th, 2023
Where? University of Alberta, North Campus
Delegate Guides and General Volunteers
General Volunteers help with things like event set up, signage, registration, and whatever is required to have a smooth, successful event.
Delegate Guides assist with leading groups of students to various activities on campus. They are also key in making sure that SET participants have a positive experience!
Please note, the role of Delegate Guide will require walking with students to various locations on campus. Volunteers should be prepared for physical activity and also have a way to communicate with the main volunteer hub, ie. have a cell phone.
Who should sign up: Undergraduate, graduate, or Ph.D. students, high school students, or interested members of the community. We also encourage Education students in Secondary Education who plan on teaching high school science to volunteer as a guide or general volunteer.
Time commitment: Volunteers are expected to complete Online Safety Training and attend a short orientation session. Delegate Guides must be present from 9:00 am - 3:00 pm on the Conference day. General volunteer shifts can vary between 7:45 am and 4:30 pm based on the volunteer's availability.
