With that said, we are always looking for volunteers to donate their time and expertise as the Olympiad would not exist without you. Specifically, we need volunteers to assist with registering and checking in teams, supervising events, running events, scoring events, directing attendees, handing out medals, and overseeing all the little details for crowds of up to 2,500 people. We will provide FREE breakfast, lunch, and a t-shirt for your time and efforts.
