Thank you for your interest in serving as a volunteer for our upcoming MESA events!
At these events, youth from our middle and high schools come to present their best designs for this year’s MESA challenges. As with every year, we depend on your support so that this can be a trans-formative, positive experience for the youth. The time commitment for events are typically from about 7:30 a.m. until 1:00 p.m (including lunch).
Please know that we do not expect all volunteers to be experts in particular areas. Rather, we are looking for supportive adults that can ensure designs meet specifications, testing is fair and consistent, and provide a safe testing atmosphere. Additionally we are looking for people who are interested in supporting students, seeing them succeed by providing them feedback, and helping them move their projects forward. If you would like more information on the design challenges please visit our Specifications webpage. To register as a volunteer for our spring 2025 events visit our MESA Day Volunteer Registration Page.
