Service Fair If you’d like to be invited to MIT’s Service Fairs that take place in September and February and allow community organizations to meet with MIT students interested in volunteering, email servicefair@mit.edu. We’ll see that your contact information is added to the invitation list. Lobby 10 Booths and Student Center Vendor Tables MIT offers the use of table space to non-MIT groups for the purpose of disseminating information that will benefit the MIT community. Fundraising is not allowed by outside organizations at these tables. Tables are located in Lobby 10 at at the Student Center. In order for an organization not affiliated with MIT to reserve this space, you need to be sponsored by an Institute department, and the PSC might agree to be your sponsor. Contact volunteerplacement@mit.edu to request table space. Please make your requests 2-3 weeks before you’d like a table, and know that your requested dates might not always be available. Directing Your Request Towards Specific MIT Groups Time permitting, we can also help you to focus your search for volunteers/employees by passing your information on to student organizations and departments specific to your needs. Send an e-mail to volunteerplacement@mit.edu which includes a short description of the event/opportunity, important dates, times, and your own contact information. Ask that we forward the information to relevant student groups. What can you do yourself? There are a variety of methods available to non-MIT affiliated individuals/groups.
