Opportunities From: STEM Action Center

STEM Fest Welcoming Crew/Bus Wranglers

Utah STEM Fest has thousands of students attend every year, and those students are coming to us, mostly, on school buses. We need enthusiastic volunteers to help make sure these students and the educators attending with them, know where to go! That's where you come in.

We need at least 8 people per shift to help us. These people will help direct school buses, and their drivers, to where they need to go. You will be working in teams, so tell a friend to sign up for the same shift to work together!

This is our biggest volunteer need for Utah STEM Fest. We rely on our fantastic volunteers to help make the drop-off/pick-up process as smooth as possible.

It's that time of year again - Utah STEM Fest 2026!

STEM Fest requires a lot of people power. This shift could have you helping with crowd control, directing people, handing out bags, monitoring hallways and entrances/exits, assisting at vendor booths, or anything else we find that we need help with. 

Let's make it clear: we can't run STEM Fest without you!
