Volunteer

With hundreds of events taking place—lab tours, petting zoos, and controlled explosions to name a few—CPW can be an overwhelming experience. We need your help in welcoming and guiding our admitted students throughout the weekend!

How it works

The deadline to register as a volunteer is Sunday, March 31. We will reach out to registered volunteers in early April to confirm your assignments for the weekend and go over any necessary training.

Volunteers may be assigned to one or more of the following jobs listed below. Please note that we will assign volunteers to the areas of greatest need.
