Expanding Your Horizons


Are you interested in helping inspire and empower middle school girls to pursue science and math careers? We could use your help! We are looking for volunteers to help out at the sixth Expanding Your Horizons - Chicago conference on Saturday, March 24th at the University of Chicago. EYH Chicago is a one-day conference where 300 middle school girls participate in hands-on science, technology, engineering, and math workshops. It is an exciting event for both the girls and volunteers, and we hope you will help us make this year’s conference a success! More information about the conference can be found on our website at https://eyhchicago.com/

We will need volunteers from approximately 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.(not all volunteer shifts will last all day).  Example positions include helping with registration, setting up and assisting workshop leaders, ushering participants (young girls) between locations, distributing lunch, and cleaning up facilities.  There will be breakfast, lunch, and a reception with food and refreshments for volunteers at the end of the day.  

Volunteers will be expected to attend a mandatory orientation session a couple weeks before the conference at the University of Chicago.  The dates for training are Saturday, March 10, 2018 at 2:00 p.m. or Wednesday, March 14, 2018 at 06:30 p.m.  We are in need of 120 volunteers to help the conference run smoothly. Are you interested? Do you know somebody who might be interested?  


Thank you!
