Keen to be a part of it all? Why not volunteer!

AMSF volunteers are the ambassadors of this event, helping the small team of 4 help visitors navigate the event, provide useful information making them feel welcomed and excited at the AMSF. The support of AMSF volunteers is integral to the delivery of this event which saw over 10, 000 visitors in just 2 weeks in 2016! Our volunteers are the face, heart and soul of the AMSF; they are the embodiment of enthusiasm and science personified!
