Started in 2011, the annual Las Vegas Science and Technology Festival has quickly become the largest educational event in Nevada. The Festival draws thousands of participants over nine jam-packed days of FREE events all across the Las Vegas Valley. Through engaging and educational programming, the Festival strives to spark curiosity and highlight the amazing science, technology, engineering, and math taking place right here in our community. The Festival makes science fun, accessible, and engaging for everyone - kids, families and adults. With over 100 organizations participating, interest in the Festival continues to increase and grow each year.



This volunteer opportunity is over two days. Volunteers are asked to help do some heavy lifting, moving items from room to room, bending over to pick up light to heavy objects, as well as the potential for unloading/loading from a truck. Long periods of standing. Long distances of walking. Some tasks may even require long periods of sitting. The final day of this Festival is taking place at the World Market Center and as a team, we will be helping to set up vendors, direct guest foot traffic, help check guests in and out and then help tear down at the end.



Friday, May 2, 2025, will consist of helping to offload trucks and vehicles for various vendors, helping to stage and build booths for various vendors, and other tasks that may include bending, lifting, standing and walking for long periods of time.



Saturday, May 3, 2025, will consist of helping various vendor booths, checking in guests, giving directions to guests, assisting booths with directions and crowd control, assisting the LVNHM booth with tasks and crowd control, break down and load in of booths at the end of the event.

Shifts can be adjusted to accommodate team sign ups, so we avoid too many volunteers and not enough tasks. Final schedule to be determined closer to May. The Las Vegas Natural History Museum Volunteer Coordinator will email an exact schedule for these two dates. Volunteers are NOT expected to work the full 11 hour shift- the schedules will vary. This is to give everyone the heads up that the opportunity could start early and end late.



Extra Information: Must have transportation to the World Market Center for this volunteer event



Individuals requiring community service hours for school or scholarships are welcome to apply.



*** This volunteer opportunity cannot accommodate court mandated community service hours.

Travelnitch began with a simple dream of inspiring kids [to travel] through books, games, and crafts. One way we accomplish this is with Books Beyond Borders (https://travelnitch.org/books-beyond-borders/)—a curated collection of books encouraging kids to travel the world from home.

As a member of the American Booksellers Association, we market a wide variety of titles for big and little explorers, but we LOVE spotlighting our favorites, like this one: https://travelnitch.org/sumo-joe/

We are currently seeking volunteers who love to read—everything from children's board books to young adult fiction—and write. You should also share our affinity for travel. As a children's book reviewer, your primary role would be reading and recommending new titles for parents through entertaining & informative blog posts. We have plenty to share with you (as e-books), or you can recommend your own personal favorites!

Travelnitch is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. As such, we rely on volunteers to help further our mission by connecting families through thoughtful content and engaging kids through informative, online programming. We'd love your support—reach out today!

Hi SRLA Runner,

Great job sticking to your training and staying committed during this tough season. You are awesome! Good luck at the marathon. Remember, if you put your mind to it you can do anything!

Keep it Up,
Joe
