Why volunteer at Regeneron ISEF?

Volunteering at Regeneron ISEF is an incredible way to support the next generation of scientists and engineers. As a Regeneron ISEF volunteer, you get a behind-the-scenes look and a front-row seat to the world’s largest international STEM research competition for high school students. Volunteers help in a variety of ways, from preparing materials and directly supporting finalists on site to interpreting for finalists who don’t speak English, and more!

 
In addition to supporting a good cause, volunteering at Regeneron ISEF is a great way to earn community service hours or credit for your business, school, or institution.
