Volunteer for CEF

CEF program implementation and success relies heavily on the time and effort of volunteers across the country. CEF's volunteers include chemical industry members, middle-school educators, college professors and students, chemists, parents, and community leaders. These individuals come from various fields and have a range of experience and expertise; however each are connected by a passion for advancing the CEF mission of enhancing science education and fostering a greater understanding of the science of chemistry, benefits of chemicals, and the importance of chemical safety awareness.

Volunteer activities include:

• Participating on CEF's Board of Trustees
• Participating on a CEF committee, such as the Program Committee to develop CEF's programs
• Becoming an industry-educator liaison
• Introducing CEF's You Be The Chemist (YBTC) programs to local schools
• Providing educator or industry liaison training to facilitate the use of CEF programs
• Becoming a YBTC Challenge Organizer or Educator Coordinator
• Participating on the YBTC Challenge Content Development Team
• Organizing CEF events, including YBTC Challenge competitions, YBTC teacher workshops, and other events
• Distributing CEF bulletins to relevant consumer groups
• Participating on judges panels for CEF competitions and awards
• Assisting with the development and review of CEF outreach materials, such as Public Service Announcements (PSAs) and brochures
