Texas A&M students and the general public can volunteer for TXSEF in a variety of ways. Volunteers need no specific qualifications and should be comfortable interacting with students. Volunteers will help with a variety of tasks including registration, venue set-up, organization and distribution of supplies, hospitality and more.
All volunteers must register for TXSEF and be available for the entirety of the the particular shift for which they are volunteering. Once registered, a TXSEF team member will contact you with specific details. Below is a list of the volunteer opportunities and their assigned dates and times. The deadline for volunteers to register is March 24, 2019.

Parking for Volunteers
Fair participants can park at the new Cain Garage, which is connected to the Texas A&M Hotel and Conference Center just north of Kyle Field. Click here for directions. Other options are West Campus Parking Garage and University Center Parking Garage. Volunteers who are Texas A&M faculty, staff and students can also use the on-campus busses to avoid having to pay for parking.
