Not ready for a months-long commitment? We still need enthusiastic volunteers to help during the week of the fair in more general roles. From assisting with event operations to providing visitor support, there are plenty of ways to get involved.

What does it mean to be an Ambassador?

Make a lasting impact

Ambassadors are more than volunteers—they’re mentors, leaders, and friends to the next generation of CWSF participants. Drawing on your own experiences, you’ll help students feel at home, provide guidance throughout the week, and inspire them to make the most of this incredible opportunity. You’ll work closely with participants and Team UV to ensure a positive, inclusive, and supportive environment for everyone attending the fair.

Be Part of Canada’s STEM Legacy

As an ambassador on Team UV means contributing to one of the most significant STEM events in the country. Your efforts will directly inspire and support the next generation of innovators, helping them achieve their dreams and shape the future of Canadian science, technology, engineering, and math.

Build Skills and Connections

As part of the organizing committee, you’ll gain valuable experience in teamwork, event planning, and problem-solving while building connections with like-minded individuals from diverse backgrounds. It’s an opportunity to grow both personally and professionally while working towards a common goal.

Create Lifelong Memories

From the excitement of welcoming students to the rewarding moments of seeing their hard work celebrated, volunteering as an ambassador with Team UV offers experiences you’ll never forget. You’ll be part of a passionate community dedicated to making a difference—and have fun along the way!

    Securing the subsidy for the two buses played a crucial role in alleviating the financial burden on our students, allowing them to participate in this educational opportunity without additional strain. The visit went smoothly...was an enriching experience for our students...and has made a significant difference in the lives of our students
