Be a Part of the Action: Volunteer!
Volunteers play important roles at the lab, working with faculty and staff to support our research, education, and outreach missions throughout the year. Let your inner citizen scientist loose! (And if you are a student, volunteer and earn creds for your service on your transcript - see info below)
Whether its working in the field or laboratory with our scientists, helping in the main office, or organizing special events, the dedication and enthusiasm that you bring to the lab contributes significantly to our success.
Sound like fun? Be part of the action and join our merry band! Read the FSU Volunteer Policy and then let us know what you want to do. The steps are:
(1) fill out the Volunteer Application of Interest Form, which lets us know that you are interested and whether you want to be a volunteer or a docent. If you see a project you like below, please indicate that on your application.
(2) Once you are matched with a volunteer supervisor, you will fill out the Supervisor-Approved Application and a Waiver. You will be responsible for turning in your volunteer hours to your supervisor.
All volunteers are considered ambassadors for the lab and are expected to comply with the time and dress requirements, adhere to all security and safety rules, and conduct themselves in accordance with the standards of conduct and ethics of the FSUCML.
