Thank you for your interest in volunteering for the Shore Bowl this year!

The Shore Bowl at Rutgers University is one of the 25 regional competitions of the National Ocean Sciences Bowl (NOSB). The NOSB aims to encourage the next generation of ocean scientists, educators, policy-makers and stewards. High school teams from NJ and PA will battle it out in a fun quiz-style competition focused on ocean science and other ocean-related topics. The winning team will represent our region at the NOSB finals.

The Shore Bowl will be held VIRTUALLY this year via Google Meets over 2 days: Saturday, March 6th and Sunday, March 7th. There will be anywhere between 7 and 9 rooms running concurrently in 2 hr time blocks. You may choose to volunteer all day, or just for some time slots but YOU MUST BE AVAILABLE FOR THE ENTIRE 2 HRS of your selected time slots.

THERE IS A MANDATORY TRAINING SESSION FOR ALL VOLUNTEERS. Due to the change to a virtual competition, everyone must attend a training zoom meeting even if you have volunteered in the past.
