There are many positions you can help us with throughout the year, depending on your availability and the area where you live. For example:
Social media and content creation, flyer and posters distribution, registration follow ups, office tasks, logistics and challenge package preparation, and many more.
General Volunteer – Tournaments
In this role you will need to be comfortable talking with parents and young students, maintain a positive attitude, be friendly, and have good communication skills.
During the tournament, you will be helping to support in one of the following areas:
Setting up the venue in the morning. Take down all equipment at the end of the tournament. Helping Challenge Masters during the tournament to execute challenges. Checking in competitors in the morning. Award ceremony set up. Be flexible to help on what is needed.
Tournament Appraisers
Are you amazed by creativity? Each of our Challenges requires a team of volunteer appraisers to view each team’s solution, follow the scoring rubric and award as many points as the team earns. Appraisers hold a brief meeting with the team after each presentation to provide them with positive feedback and learn more about the team’s solution. Appraising at a tournament is a rewarding experience.
Applicants must be 18 years of age or older and have graduated from high school.
Team Manager
Parents, teachers, and community leaders are all welcome to mentor teams through the DI process. Managing a team takes between two and four months, where you’ll help with creating the team, choosing the challenge, and crafting the solution. Our Team Managers get as much out of DI as the kids do!
Applicants must be 18 years of age or older and have graduated from high school.
