We are looking for volunteers to help out at the iGEM 2008 Jamboree. We will need volunteers to help run the Jamboree on November 7-9. There will be many opportunities to volunteer in different areas such as helping us set up, operating video equipment, helping participants stay organized, answering questions, and in general making iGEM 2008 a success.

Keep in mind that your first priority as volunteer is to your designated area and that this may mean that you will miss out on some/all presentations.

iGEM alums: This is a great opportunity to stay involved with iGEM even if you can't participate on a team.
