Glasgow Science Festival Internship
Volunteering applications will open in Autumn 2024 for 16 places.
Glasgow Science Festival (GSF) run a variety of projects throughout the year including the main festival in June.
To deliver these projects the GSF recruit a team of reliable and motivated volunteers who can get involved in many different aspects; from demonstrating science activities at our family days and community events, welcoming guests to evening events and helping behind the scenes - generally making sure our events run smoothly!
They offer training opportunities for the volunteers in advance of the festival and 'on-the-job' training to ensure that they get the most from the experience.
For insurance purposes, our volunteers must be current University of Glasgow staff and students, aged 18+.
